The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston assistant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today’s article, we will continue with the fourth of 14 players who wore the No. 0, big man alum Greg Smith. After ending his college career at Fresno State, Smith would go unselected in the 2011 NBA Draft, instead playing abroad and in the G League before he signed with the Rockets later that year.
His stay with the team would span three seasons, coming to an end when he signed with the Chicago Bulls in 2014.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Smith wore only jersey Nos. 0 and 4 and put up 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
