Career Stats: 12.8 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 5.5 APG, 1.0 SPG, 48.0 FG%, 39.9 3PT%

Kenny “The Jet” Smith was a 10-year NBA veteran that was part of two championship squads with the Houston Rockets.

Originally the No. 6 overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft, Smith spent his first three seasons in the league with Sacramento before finding a home in Houston. His best statistical season occurred in his first season with the Rockets, as he averaged 17.7 points, 7.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game en route to helping the organization win 52 contests.

Although he put up good numbers for the Kings, Smith’s NBA career will be remembered by his six-year stint in Houston.
