11-Twany Beckham
12-Ryan Harrow
13-Sam Malone
15-Willie Cauley-Stein
22-Alex Poythress

Beckham was the only returning player to switch numbers. He wore #10 last season. That number now belongs to Goodwin. None of last season’s one-and-dones will see their numbers on the Rupp Arena floor this time around. Digits belonging to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (#14), Anthony Davis (#23) and Marquis Teague (#25) all went unclaimed.
Some notable Cats who wore the same number as the six newcomers:
3-Rex Chapman, Terrence Jones, Ramel Bradley
10-Dirk Minniefield, Keith Bogans, Louie Dampier, Andre Riddick
12-Ralph Beard, Brandon Knight, Deron Feldhaus
15-Alex Groza, DeMarcus Cousins, Ed Davender
22-Mike Pratt, Patrick Sparks, Jerry Bird
34-Kenny Walker, John Pelphrey, Mike Casey, Scott Padgett, DeAndre Liggins
