Houston Rockets jersey history No. 10 - Chase Budinger (2009-12)
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 21 who wore the No. 10, forward alum Chase Budinger. After ending his college career at Arizona, Budinger was picked up with the 44th overall selection of the 2009 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons.
The Encinitas, California native played the first three seasons of his pro career with the Houston Rockets after a draft night deal. His stay with the team lasted until he was dealt to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2012. During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Budinger wore only jersey No.
10 and put up 9. 4 points, 3. 4 rebounds, and 1.
4 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference. This article originally appeared on Rockets Wire: Rockets jersey history No.
