Mo Williams reveals the jersey number for Kentucky basketball

The Kentucky Wildcats recently signed top transfer Milan Momcilovic, which brings the roster to 14 players. There's room for one more if they choose, but as of now, there's nothing on the horizon. So the team is basically complete, and now, we also know the numbers that each player will wear, thanks to a video from assistant coach Mo Williams.

Williams posted a video on Instagram showing the locker room. In that video, he also showed the names, and numbers each player had above their designated space. Here's a look at them.

No. 0 - Zyon Hawthorne

The younger brother of Braydon Hawthorne, Zyon could redshirt this season, as he gains experience. No. 0 has been a good number for guards, with Rob Dillingham recently wearing it, and Otega Oweh wearing a close No. 00.

No. 1 - Jerone Morton

Morton wore No. 1 when he was at Morehead State, but changed to No. 11 at Washington State. The former Kentucky high school hero will switch back to No. 1 with the Wildcats. He's expected to be an important shooter off the bench.

No. 2 - Braydon Hawthorne

Mark Pope has expressed his belief that Hawthorne is going to be a star at some point. He's a versatile athlete with loads of potential. Last year, he wore No. 22, but No. 2 was his number in high school, and he'll wear it again next year.

No. 3 - Kam Williams

Williams is another Wildcat with breakout potential. He's a terrific shooter with the athleticism to be an elite all-around player. Like last season, he will wear No. 3 as a key member of the 2026-27 squad.

No. 4 - Mason Williams

Though a freshman, Williams will likely be a key part of the backcourt rotation. Last year, the lack of point guard depth doomed Kentucky, and Williams was a four-star recruit at that spot. He looks to be taking the No. 4.

No. 5 - Zoom Diallo

Diallo will look to break the bad luck streak the Wildcats have had at point guard under Pope. He transferred in from Washington, where he showed an ability to both drive and score, or find open shooters. He will keep the No. 5 that he has worn with the Huskies.

No. 9 - Trent Noah

The Mountain Mamba will continue to wear the No. 9, and provide toughness and hustle off the bench. Noah is a fan favorite who can provide valuable rebounding and three-point shooting as a backup.

No. 10 - Alex Wilkins

Expectations are high for Wilkins, who scored at a high level at Furman where he was also No. 10. He's very good at driving and getting to the rim, and if he improves his three-point shot, he could be a star in the SEC.

No. 11 - Franck Kepnang

Like Zoom Diallo, Kepnang comes over from Washington where he wore No. 11. He's a very good shot blocker, but has dealt with injuries during his college career. He could be an underrated signing for Kentucky.

No. 19 - Ousmane N'Diaye

N'Diaye was an international signing for Pope, who has raved about his potential. He is long, athletic, and continues to develop as a shooter. No. 19 doesn't seem to have any previous attachment, but he'll look good wearing it.

No. 21 - Justin McBride

McBride will continue to wear No. 21, which he has worn his whole college career. He's going to provide great depth as a very good shooting big man who can stretch the floor and score in bunches. He averaged 15 per game last season.

No. 22 - Milan Momcilovic

The No. 22 opened up for Momcilovic, who wore it at Iowa State. He was rated by some as the top player in the transfer portal, and getting him to Lexington was a big win for Pope and his staff. He made 49% of his three-pointers last year.

No. 24 - Malachi Moreno

Moreno flirted with the NBA draft this offseason, but his return to Kentucky is huge. He has the potential to be one of the best centers in the country next year, and will continue to wear No. 24 while he does it.

No. 33 - Reece Potter

Potter is a forgotten player for many, but he could provide some valuable minutes. He has great size, and is a pretty good shooter capable of stretching the floor from the center position. He'll stick with No. 33 again this year.
