The numbers players reach for most
Single-digit numbers dominate the top of the list. After #0's 26 players, #5 is next with 22, followed by #3 with 19. Four numbers — #2, #4, #8, and #9 — are each worn by 16 players. The pattern holds through the teens: #11 and #14 are the busiest there, at 16 and 15 players respectively. Numbers climb back up briefly around #22 and #23, then thin out steadily through the thirties.
Higher numbers are far rarer. #44, #45, #55, and #77 each have small clusters of players, but most numbers above #35 go unclaimed entirely.
Numbers that nobody is wearing
Of the 100 numbers available (0 through 99), 48 are unworn this season. The gaps appear mostly in the higher ranges — numbers in the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties are almost entirely absent, with only #77 showing any takers. If you search for a number and find no page, it simply means no current player has chosen it.
Why some players have no number listed
127 players in the dataset have no jersey number on record. This typically reflects roster spots that were added or updated before a number was officially assigned. Pages for those players are still available through other attributes — position, height, college, or birthplace — while their number information is pending.
