Over the years, there have been many top players in the league who have played for the Rockets, such as Olajuwon and Moses Malone, who have brought home championship trophies for the team and have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and players like Harden, Maddy and Yao Ming, who failed to win the championship during their time for the Rockets, but can also have a huge impact on the team.
So which players in Rockets history are the top 10 scorers? American media Eddie Bital gave the following results:
10. Clyde Drexler, averaging 19 points per game
9. Yao Ming, averaging 19 points per game
8. Donald R.Cois, averaging 19.6 points per game
7. Ralph Sampson, averaging 19.7 points per game
6. Ervin Hayes, averaging 20.6 points per game
5. Kevin Martin, averaging 22.3 points per game
4. Hakim Olajuwon, averaging 22.5 points per game
3. Tracy McGrady, averaging 22.7 points per game
2. Moses Malone, averaging 24 points per game
1. James Harden, averaging 29.6 points per game
Rockets' highest total score in history:
1. Hakim-Olajuwon: 26511
2. James Harden: 18365
3. Calvin-Murphy: 17949
4. Rudy-TomJanovich: 13383
5. Elvin Hayes: 11762
6. Moses-Malone: 11119
7. Yao Ming: 9247
8. Robert Reed: 8823
9. Mike Newling: 8480
10. Otis-Thorpe: 8177
In terms of average points per game, Harden can average up to 29.6 points per game during his time for the Rockets is indeed a very top-level data performance, considering the overall performance that Harden can play for the Rockets, it is indeed surprising that he cannot win the championship trophy.
After Harden, the top 5 players in rocket history to average points per game include Moses Malone, Maddy, Olajuwon and Kevin Martin, and Yao Mingneng ranks 9th in team history with an average of 19 points per game.
As for the total score, rocket legend Olajuwon can lead the second-place Harden by nearly 8,000 points with 26,511 points, but Harden's 18,365 points during his time with the Rockets is enough to prove the dominance of this super scorer.
