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 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 15th of 18 players who wore the No. 5, big man alum Bruno Caboclo. After ending his high school career, Caboclo was picked up with the 20th overall selection of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors.
The Osasco, Brazil native played parts of the first four seasons of his pro career with Toronto. He would also play for the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies before he was dealt to Houston for his last two seasons in the NBA in 2020.
