Anthony Peeler, Keyon Dooling and Ricky Paulding would have to be on my list.

Hard as heck to pick just one. Maybe one per decade I've been following the team....
60's - OK I was too young in the 60's but Cotton Nash's grandkids play football for my daughter's school.
70's - Kyle Macy (just over Jack Givens) - Purdue transfer provided the missing piece to bring UK's first NCAA title in 20 years.
80's - Kenny Walker (over Rex Champman) - even with the twin towers of Bowie and Turpin, Kenny brought an explosiveness that made Kentucky basketball fun again after some relatively ho-hum seasons
90's - Jamal Mashburn (over Derek Anderson, Jeff Sheppard et al) - teamed with the "Unforgettables" to bring UK basketball back to life and national relevance.
00's Tayshaun Prince (over ?) - great kid, great talent, and silenced the critics by proving he could succeed at the next level
10's Anthony Davis (over Wall, Cousins, et...) - one of the best ever to wear the UK uni. If he can get and stay healthy may go down as one of the best ever period.
In the shake-my-head-for-what-could've-been category - Dwight Anderson.

Those are all names I thought of too, along with Marcus Denmon. Tough to narrow it down, IMO.

If it's just favorites, and not necessarily best. I nominate Jason Sutherland.
Gritty bastard.

Throw in some Lee Coward, Doug Smith, Mike Sandbothe, and Larry Drew for good measure.
