In NBA history? Two former Suns, naturally: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-l ... y-a-player

We also held the rights to #3 though he never played for us.

Props to Johnny Newman for making third on the list despite being a nobody.

I wonder if there’s another franchise that has had all of the top three. I imagine we’re unique in that respect.

ETA: Nope. All three played for the Nets.

Book's going to pass Davis and Van Arsdale in less than a year. It'll probably take him three years to catch Adams.

Thanks, Bobster. I did some googling but it was not easy to find. Finally gave up.
