26. Patrick Patterson

3 seasons, 16.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.5 assists, 59% FG

Patrick Patterson is a consensus fan-favorite, largely because of the conditions under which he played. He had to endure playing under dysfunctional head coach Billy Gillispie for two years before being largely overshadowed while playing alongside four other first round picks under John Calipari in his final season. He was viewed as a program-saver when the Huntington, W.V., native committed under Gillispie. However, injuries and a lack of talent around him seemed to hold him back until his junior year.

Despite this adversity, Patterson was an All-SEC selection in each of his three years at Kentucky.

He finished his career at UK ranked 13th in career points, 13th in career rebounds and seventh in career blocks.
