The\u00a0Houston Rockets<\/a>\u00a0have 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\u00a0Rockets history.<\/p>\n

To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades,\u00a0Rockets 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.<\/p>\n

And for today’s article, we will continue with the seventh of eight who wore the No. 17, guard alum Dennis Schroder. After starting his pro career abroad, Schroder was picked up with the 17th overall selection of the 2013 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks.<\/p>\n

The Braunschweig, Germany native played the first five seasons of his pro career with Atlanta. He also played for the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>, and Boston Celtics before he was dealt to the Houston Rockets in 2022.
