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 seventh of 11 who wore the No. 13, wing alum Kirk Snyder. After ending his college career at Nevada, Snyder was picked up with the 16th overall selection of the 2004 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz.
The Los Angeles, California native played the first seasons of his pro career with Utah. He would also play for the (then) New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets (now, Pelicans) before he was dealt to the Houston Rockets in 2006. His stay with the team lasted until he was dealt to te Minnesota Timberwolves in 2008.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Snyder wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
