Houston Rockets jersey history No. 11 - Jon McGlocklin (1967-68)
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 first of 10 who wore the No. 11, wing alum Jon McGlocklin. After ending his college career at Indiana, McGlocklin was picked up with the 27th overall selection of the 1965 NBA Draft by the (then) Cincinnati Royals (now, Sacramento Kings).
The Franklin, Indiana native played the first two seasons of his pro career with the Royals, coming to an end when he was drafted by the (then) San Diego (now, Houston) Rockets in the 1968 expansion draft. During his time suiting up for the Rockets, McGlocklin wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 12.
1 points, 3. 1 rebounds, and 2. 7 assists per game.
