25. Brandon Knight

1 season, 17.3 points, 4.2 assists, 4 rebounds, 19.3 PER, 35 minutes per game

Brandon Knight, who might go down as one of the most underappreciated great players for Kentucky, was the best player on a team who reached the Final Four. During his one year in Lexington, Knight was forced to play over 35 minutes per game because of a short bench.

Despite the heavy minutes, Knight made his presence known during the most important times. In the first round game against Princeton, Knight hit a runner to allow Kentucky avoid an upset. In the Sweet 16 against No. 1 Ohio State, Knight drilled the game-winning jumper.
