5. Doron Lamb (2010-2012)

Probably my favorite off the court player from the Calipari Era, if not all time, Doron Lamb checks in a number five. A 47.5 percent three-point shooter in his two seasons at Kentucky, Lamb was the most accurate marksman in the field. Constantly in the top ten of SEC rankings for true shooting percentage and three-point related things, he never seemed to miss.

The most memorable D-Lamb moment was the National Championship Game, where he led the Cats in scoring with 22 points, sealing off Kentucky’s first National Championship since 1998. This alone should’ve ranked him higher, but with the shooting guards left, it’s hard to choose.

Doron Lamb averaged 13.1 points per game, and became arguably one of the best pure three-point threats in recent memory.
