7. Archie Goodwin (2012-2013)

In arguably the most forgettable season we’ve had with Coach Calipari at the helm, Goodwin was somewhat of a bright spot. After losing Nerlens Noel to an ACL injury, Goodwin stepped up. Expectations were high for this team after winning the National Championship the year before. But, as many Kentucky fans know, every year brings a new team, with fresh faces.

Goodwin averaged 14.1 points and 4.6 rebounds in that season. His ability to attack the rim and athletic capabilities made him an intriguing player. While he didn’t have a jumpshot, he still was able to get the ball in the hole from the perimeter. Kentucky did not make the tournament that season, as many remember. That paired with the remaining shooting guards on the table earned Goodwin the number seven ranking.
