Question: What year was the Houston Rocket's 1995-96 point guard drafted into the NBA?

Context paragraphs:
Point guard: The point guard (PG), also called the one or point, is one of the five positions in a regulation basketball game.  A point guard has perhaps the most specialized role of any position.  Point guards are expected to run the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right players at the right time.  Above all, the point guard must totally understand and accept their coach's game plan; in this way, the position can be compared to a quarterback in American football or a playmaker in association football (soccer).  While the guard must understand and accept the coach's gameplan, he must also be able to adapt to what the defense is allowing, and he also must control the pace of the game.

Skylar Diggins-Smith: Skylar Kierra Diggins-Smith (born August 2, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for the Dallas Wings of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).  She was drafted 3rd overall by the Tulsa Shock in the 2013 WNBA draft.  In high school, she was the National Gatorade Player of the Year, the Gatorade Female Athlete of the Year, and a McDonald's All-American.  Diggins played point guard for Notre Dame, where she led Notre Dame to three consecutive Final Fours and two consecutive NCAA championship appearances.  She finished her Notre Dame career ranked first in points and steals, second in assists, and as a two-time winner of the Nancy Lieberman Award as the top point guard in the nation, while leading her team to a record of 35-2.

1995–96 Golden State Warriors season: The 1995–96 NBA season was the Warriors' 50th season in the National Basketball Association, and 34th in the San Francisco Bay Area.  The Warriors won the Draft Lottery, and selected Joe Smith from the University of Maryland with the first overall pick in the 1995 NBA draft.  During the offseason, the team acquired B.J. Armstrong from the expansion Toronto Raptors and signed free agent Jerome Kersey.  With Armstrong in the lineup at point guard, Tim Hardaway played off the bench for most of the first half of the season.  Midway through the season, he was traded along with Chris Gatling to the Miami Heat for Kevin Willis and Bimbo Coles.

2017–18 Philadelphia 76ers season: The 2017–18 Philadelphia 76ers season will be the 79th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The 2017–18 76ers season will likely be the first time where their franchise's young core would play together with players like Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Dario Saric, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, and newly drafted point guard, Markelle Fultz with leading the way moving forward.  Furthermore, during the 2016–17 season, the club was plagued with injury with Ben Simmons, Jahlil Okafor, Jerryd Bayless, Joel Embiid and Robert Covington.  All five of them missed significant time.  They would wind up acquiring the #1 pick again, this time being point guard Markelle Fultz from the Boston Celtics on June 19, four days before the 2017 NBA Draft began in exchange for their #3 pick this year (which was Jayson Tatum) and another first round pick moving forward.  During the 2017–18 campaign, the Sixers look to build young core and have more of a legitimate change to a playoff run since Sam Hinkie's infamous tanking method.

Sam Cassell: Samuel James Cassell Sr. (born November 18, 1969) is a former professional basketball player and current assistant coach of the Los Angeles Clippers.  Drafted 24th overall in the 1993 NBA draft out of Florida State University, Cassell played for eight different teams during his 15-year career.  He was selected to the NBA All-Star Game and All-NBA Team once, both in the 2003–04 season.  He played the point guard position.

1995–96 Charlotte Hornets season: The 1995–96 NBA season was the 8th season for the Charlotte Hornets in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Hornets re-acquired Kendall Gill from the Seattle SuperSonics.  On the first day of the regular season, the Hornets acquired Glen Rice, Matt Geiger and second-year guard Khalid Reeves from the Miami Heat.  Rice would prove to be a solid pick with his long range ability from beyond the arch.  He was also selected to play in the 1996 NBA All-Star Game.  The Hornets got off to a slow start losing eight of their first eleven games, but played around .500 along the way.  In January, they dealt Gill and Reeves to the New Jersey Nets for Kenny Anderson, who became the team's starting point guard, while Muggsy Bogues sat out with a knee injury that only limited him to just six games.  Scott Burrell was also injured, only playing just 20 games due to a shoulder injury.

2014–15 Los Angeles Lakers season: The 2014–15 Los Angeles Lakers season was the franchise's 67th season, its 66th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 55th in Los Angeles.  Coming off from one of the worst seasons in franchise history and missing last season's playoffs, the team looked to rebound.  Mike D'Antoni resigned in late April following two miserable seasons, leaving the team without a head coach.  In the offseason, Pau Gasol left for Chicago and Jodie Meeks left for Detroit respectively, leaving big holes to fill.  After failing to land the biggest names in the offseason like Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, the Lakers brought back numerous key role players from last season including Nick Young, Jordan Hill, and Ryan Kelly.  The Lakers later acquired point guard Jeremy Lin in a trade with Houston and won the bidding rights to power forward Carlos Boozer after being amnestied by Chicago in the offseason.  The Lakers also drafted Kentucky's star power forward Julius Randle and shooting guard Jordan Clarkson in the 2014 NBA Draft.  The team then hired Lakers Showtime player and former Coach of the Year, Byron Scott as head coach in late July.  On December 14, 2014, Kobe Bryant scored 26 points to pass Michael Jordan for third on the NBA's all-time scoring list in a 100–94 win over Minnesota.

He played collegiately at the University of Arizona, and professionally for the Toronto Raptors, Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs.  He is the cousin of former Arizona Wildcats standout Salim Stoudamire and current NBA player Terrence Jones.

1995–96 Houston Rockets season: The 1995–96 NBA season was the Rockets' 29th season in the National Basketball Association, and 25th season in Houston.  After two straight NBA championships, the Rockets got new colors, new uniforms, and a new logo which was actually unveiled aboard the Space Shuttle.  The Rockets got off to a fast start winning ten of their first eleven games.  However, injuries would be an issue all year as Clyde Drexler, Sam Cassell and Mario Elie were all out for long stretches.  Midway through the season, the team signed free agent Sam Mack, who previously played in the Continental Basketball Association.  Despite the injuries and a 7-game losing streak in March, the Rockets finished third in the Midwest Division with a 48–34 record, with Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon both being selected for the 1996 NBA All-Star Game.
