We break down the best Kentucky Basketball players of the 2010s and create the ultimate All-Decade Lineup…

The 2010’s. The John Calipari Era.

Luckily for us, they are one and the same. Since taking over the most storied program in college basketball history, John Calipari has singlehandedly piloted the greatest ten years in Kentucky basketball history and among the best in college basketball history.

From the beginning of the decade, Kentucky fans have been spoiled with insane talent, numerous lottery picks, several All-Americans, endless All-SEC members, and some of the best players to not only grace the University of Kentucky but all of college basketball.

Without further ado, let’s break down the ultimate 10-man roster – five starters and five backups –  from this decade… and of course honorable mentions.
