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 11th of 19 players who wore the No. 3, guard alum Goran Dragic. After starting his pro career abroad, Dragic was picked up with the 45th overall selection of the 2008 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns.
The Ljubljana, Slovenia native played parts of the first two seasons of his pro career with the Suns, coming to an end when he was dealt to Houston in 2011. His stay with the team lasted until he signed with the Suns that next offseason.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Dragic wore only jersey No. 3 and put up 10.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
