25. Ed Davender

Ed Davender was an elite scorer for the Kentucky Wildcats. He is currently 11th on the school’s all-time list with 1,637 career points, another member of the 1000 point club, heck, he almost hit 2000. He was more than just strong on the offensive end of the ball, though. Davender ended his career with 191 career steals, the fourth-highest total in school history. Not too bad for the little guy.

Davender didn’t have a career in the NBA, but was drafted by the Washington Bullets.

However, Davender recently found himself in legal trouble. Take a look at this from the Kentucky.com

"Former University of Kentucky basketball star Ed Davender was sentenced to eight years in prison Friday on numerous charges related to a UK basketball ticket scam in which victims lost tens of thousands of dollars."

"Davender pleaded guilty in Fayette Circuit Court in May to taking money unlawfully from 19 people in amounts ranging from $300 to $23,900 from May 2003 through August 2009. Davender was accused of accepting money from people with the promise that he would get them UK basketball game tickets, but they never got the tickets. Locally, about 25 victims have been identified. A number of people have declined to file charges against Davender, Assistant Fayette Commonwealth’s Attorney Cindy Rieker said. While awaiting sentencing on the 20 counts in circuit court, Davender was charged with theft by deception for allegedly accepting $4,000 from a Louisville man between December and March for non-existent tickets to the 2010 Final Four."

Not a great look for the once Wildcat all-star.
