What are the best jersey numbers in UK basketball history?

Here are what I consider to be the top jersey numbers in UK men's basketball.

#44One 2000-point scorer (Dan Issel), Three 1000-point scorers (Cotton Nash, Chuck Hayes, Bill Lickert)


#34One 2000-point scorer (Kenny Walker), Three 1000-point scorers (Mike Casey, John Pelphrey, Scott Padgett)

#12 - Four 1000-point scorers (Ralph Beard, Deron Feldhaus, Rodrick Rhodes, Tom Parker)


#15 - Three 1000-point scorers (Alex Groza, Ed Davender, Jeff Sheppard) plus DeMarcus Cousins (575)


#10 - Three 1000-point scorers (Louie Dampier, Keith Bogans, Dirk Minniefield) plus James Blackmon (866)


#4 - Three 1000-point scorers (Kyle Macy, Gerald Fitch, Derrick Miller) plus Rajon Rondo (654)

#3 - Three 1000-point scorers (Rex Chapman, Ramel Bradley, Terrence Jones) plus Allen Edwards (819)

#20 - Three 1000-point scorers (Jimmy Dan Conner, Jim Master, Doron Lamb)

#21 - One 2000-point scorer (Jack Givens), one 1000-point scorer (Tayshaun Prince)


Then there are a lot of jerseys with two 1000-point scorers each:

#24 - Johnny Cox, Jamal Mashburn...plus Antoine Walker (806), Kelenna Azubuike (970)

#25 - Winston Bennett, Jim Line...plus Anthony Epps (811)

#35 - Kevin Grevey, Reggie Hanson...plus future AD C.M. Newton

#42 - Pat Riley, Jamaal Magloire

#54 - Melvin Turpin, Patrick Patterson

#55 - Mike Phillips, Jim Andrews
