    Help choosing a program for Upper Body only

    I go to the gym 3x a week and have room for 5-6 upper body exercises (3 compound, 2-3 isolation).
    I am 12 months in from ACL surgery and have strict rehab program for my lower body, so don't need anything for that.

    I've been doing my own thing until now, but would like to get a proper program going to do things right.
    Can anyone guide me to what would suit?

    My goal is to be stronger for basketball when I'm finally able to play again. Looking good helps too!

    I'm new here and not sure what I'm doing, so if you need more info or if I've posted wrong, let me know.

    So far, I've been doing this: (Feel free to ignore if it isn't relevant to choosing a program)

    Day 1 & 2
    Overhead press, 4 x 8 - 45kg
    Bench, 4 x 8 - 65kg
    Pull ups (assisted) 4 x 8

    And from these, I'll pick 2 or 3 for 3x10:
    Bicep curls
    Triceps
    Face pulls
    Lateral raises
    Rotator cuff and front delt exercise on the pulley machine

    Day 3
    Lat pull downs, wide and narrow grip - 3 x 8 ea
    Seated rows 4 x 10
    W raises 3 x 10
    Bent over row, modified for rear delts 3 x 10
    Standing row 4 x 10

    The rest..
    If it matters, or just for interest, my lower body is this for each session:

    Bike 5min
    Standing fire hydrant with 3kg on hip (for glutes/balance) 2 x 15
    SL lateral pushes 2 x 15

    Blood flow restriction
    Leg extension SL (30, 15, 15, 15)
    Hamstring curls SL (4 x 12)

    Calf raises SL 4 x 8, 110kg
    Leg press SL 3 x 8, 165kg
    Nordic drops 4 x 4

    Pick 2 of
    Deadlifts 4 x 8, 80kg (just started these recently so working on getting form right before pump up weight)
    Romanian Dead Lift SL 4 x 8, 80kg
    Box step ups in Smith Machine, SL 4 x 8, 90kg

    Stretching
    Ab roll ups 3 x 8
    Foam rolling
