2 seasons, 11.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals

You want to talk about a scoring threat? Antoine Walker played just 69 games for the blue and white and still scored 806 points over that stretch. He was part of the golden-era of Kentucky basketball before the John Calipari-era took over, winning a title in 1996 over Syracuse.

While he became an outside shooter in the NBA with his famous shimmy, ‘Toine was a player who focused on playing a midrange game at Kentucky. In fact he only attempted 26 shots from behind the arc during his two years in Lexington.

Walker would go on to be drafted No. 6 overall by the Boston Celtics and reuniting with his college coach in the NBA.
