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 second of two who wore the No. 28, center Alperun Sengun. After starting his pro career abroad, Sengun was picked up with the 16th overall selection of the 2021 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets.

The Giresun, Turkey native played the first five seasons of his pro career with Houston, and remains with the team at the time of writing.

During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Sengun wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game.
