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 13th of 19 players who wore the No. 3, guard alum Nick Johnson. After ending his college career at Arizona, Johnson was picked up with the 42nd overall selection of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Rockets.
The Tempe, Arizona native played the only season of his NBA career with Houston, leaving the league as a player afterward.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Johnson wore only jersey No. 3 and put up 2.6 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.
