Houston Rockets 1999-00 Roster and Statistics

Last Updated on August 5, 2026 by Mat Diekhake

League Search Page > NBA > Houston Rockets > Roster & Statistics

The 1999–00 Houston Rockets leaned on Steve Francis as their primary offensive engine, with Cuttino Mobley and Hakeem Olajuwon providing consistent scoring support while Charles Barkley remained a major rebounding and playmaking presence in the frontcourt. Houston played at an above-average pace and scored efficiently enough to stay competitive, but below-average defense and a negative overall point differential prevented the team from turning its offensive talent into sustained success.

Steve Francis	Starter/Star	36.1	High	18.0	5.3	6.6	1.9	83.16	Explosive lead guard who immediately became the engine of Houston’s offense after arriving as a rookie. Francis blended downhill scoring with advanced shot creation, and his ability to rebound and facilitate from the point guard spot gave the Rockets a new offensive identity.	NBA Rookie of the Year (2000), NBA All-Rookie First Team (2000), Schick Rookie Challenge participant (2000)
Charles Barkley	Starter/Star	31.0	High	14.5	10.5	3.2	0.9	76.03	Even late in his career, Barkley remained a dominant glass cleaner and interior creator. Before injuries cut his season short, he was still controlling possessions through rebounding, post play and physicality around the basket.	NBA MVP (1993), NBA All-Star (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996), NBA 50th Anniversary Team
Cuttino Mobley	Key Contributor	30.8	High	15.8	3.6	2.6	1.5	59.98	Instant-offense scorer who thrived in a sixth-man role despite starter-level minutes. Mobley supplied perimeter shooting, transition scoring and late-clock shot creation, finishing second in Sixth Man of the Year voting.	NBA Sixth Man of the Year Voting – 2nd Place (2000)
Shandon Anderson	Starter/Star	32.9	Medium	12.3	4.7	2.9	1.6	51.55	Slashing wing whose athleticism fit perfectly beside Houston’s young guards. He attacked gaps, defended multiple positions and often handled difficult perimeter assignments without needing many plays called for him.
Hakeem Olajuwon	Key Contributor	23.8	Medium	10.3	6.2	1.4	2.5	47.12	Veteran center transitioning into a smaller offensive role, yet his defensive instincts remained elite. Even with reduced minutes, Olajuwon still altered shots, protected the rim and provided polished post scoring when opportunities appeared.	NBA Champion (1994, 1995), NBA MVP (1994), NBA Finals MVP (1994, 1995), NBA Defensive Player of the Year (1993, 1994), NBA 50th Anniversary Team
Kenny Thomas	Key Contributor	25.0	Medium	8.3	6.1	1.6	1.1	39.73	Physical young forward who earned a larger role through rebounding and hustle.

Kelvin Cato	Key Contributor	24.3	Medium	8.7	6.0	0.4	2.4	40.19	Defense-first center whose impact started around the rim. Cato’s shot blocking and rebounding allowed Houston to stay sturdy defensively whenever Olajuwon rested or missed time.
Walt Williams	Key Contributor	24.5	Medium	10.9	4.0	2.1	1.2	42.50	Floor-spacing forward who quietly provided balance to the rotation. His efficient outside shooting stretched defenses and complemented the team’s attacking guards.
Moochie Norris	Bench	16.7	Low	6.9	2.3	3.1	0.8	26.20	Change-of-pace backup point guard who pushed tempo and kept the second unit organized. His confidence with the ball helped Houston maintain offensive flow when Francis sat.
Carlos Rogers	Key Contributor	20.8	Low	8.0	5.2	0.8	0.9	31.29	Athletic reserve big who supplied energy, rebounding and efficient interior finishing. He wasn’t a focal point, but his activity around the basket consistently added value.
Bryce Drew	Bench	18.0	Low	5.8	1.4	2.3	0.6	20.20	Reserve guard who operated primarily as a floor spacer and secondary ball-handler. His outside shooting helped open driving lanes for Houston’s more aggressive creators.	NCAA Tournament Most Famous Buzzer-Beater (1998)
Matt Bullard	Bench	18.3	Low	6.8	2.5	1.1	0.5	21.80	Stretch forward whose role centered on shooting. Opponents had to respect his range, making him a useful fit alongside Houston’s post players and attacking guards.	NBA Champion (1994, 1995)
Anthony Miller	Bench	13.6	Low	3.7	4.7	0.5	0.6	19.00	Rebounding specialist who provided toughness in limited minutes. His offensive role was minimal, but he consistently competed for loose balls and second-chance opportunities.
Thomas Hamilton	Bench	12.4	Low	3.7	4.1	0.7	0.8	18.60	Depth center whose contributions came through size and interior effort. He supplied useful spot minutes when Houston needed additional frontcourt depth.
Tony Massenburg	Bench	10.9	Low	4.6	2.7	0.3	0.7	16.60	Veteran reserve big who played a straightforward role as a rebounder and interior finisher. His experience made him a dependable situational option.	NBA Champion (2005)
Bill Curley	Bench	12.5	Low	3.0	2.0	0.0	0.5	11.00	End-of-rotation forward whose appearances were brief but physical. Most of his work came around the paint and on the glass.
Devin Gray	Bench	5.9	Low	2.3	1.2	0.2	0.3	8.00	Young wing who saw limited action but showed a willingness to defend and play within the flow of the offense. His role was primarily developmental.
TEAM TOTALS	—	241.8	—	99.5	43.8	21.6	12.8	612.35	Houston blended veteran experience with a promising young backcourt. Steve Francis emerged as the franchise centerpiece, Cuttino Mobley became a major scoring weapon, while Barkley and Olajuwon still provided valuable frontcourt production during a transitional season.
