The team-success factor didn't play a huge part in this ranking since the Rockets haven't even won the Western Conference Finals since 1995, but it did hurt a few guys who peaked during Houston's brief playoff droughts (2000-12). Contributions before then will be mentioned in career highlights but not measured. Only a player's production since the beginning of the 1999-00 season factored in here. To fill out the rest of the top 10, we considered individual production and accolades (All-Star Games, All-NBA teams, etc.), contributions to team success and advanced metrics such as win shares (WS), value over replacement player (VORP) and player efficiency rating (PER). And though both of Chris Paul's seasons in Houston ended in heartbreak against the Golden State Warriors, he was also clearly one of the best Rockets of the past two decades. Clint Capela has rapidly become one of the best current centers. James Harden is already one of the best to ever play in the NBA and is hands down the best Houston Rocket since 2000.

Also following the season, Anderson was traded to the New York Knicks, while Carlos Rogers signed as a free agent with the Indiana Pacers, and three-point specialist Matt Bullard signed with the Charlotte Hornets. This season also marked an end of an era as Olajuwon was traded to the Toronto Raptors following the season, after seventeen seasons with the Rockets.
In addition, Hakeem Olajuwon contributed 11.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, but only played 58 games due to a blood condition in his left leg, while Shandon Anderson provided with 8.7 points per game, Walt Williams contributed 8.3 points per game, and second-year forward Kenny Thomas averaged 7.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Second-year star Steve Francis continued to emerge as the new star of the Rockets, averaging 19.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game, while Cuttino Mobley averaged 19.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, and Taylor provided the team with 13.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. However, the Rockets missed the playoffs despite finishing fifth in the Midwest Division with a winning record of 45–37, which was two games behind the 8th-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves. The team held a 25–25 record at the All-Star break, and then played above. After the retirement of Charles Barkley, the Rockets got off to a 13–9 start to the season, but then went on a six-game losing streak afterwards. In an effort to shore up their front line, the Rockets signed free agent Maurice Taylor during the off-season. The Rockets had the ninth pick in the 2000 NBA draft, and selected Joel Przybilla from the University of Minnesota, but soon traded him to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for rookie center Jason Collier. The 2000–01 NBA season was the Rockets' 34th season in the National Basketball Association, and 30th season in the city of Houston.
