Correct me if i am missing anyone. this means who played the best for UK while there and who steped up once they made it to the NBA?
IMO Best at UK - Antoine Walker / and NBA is Rajon Rondo.
At the moment Rondo is the best.
Tough decision for saying who was best at UK...
But can't overlook Tayshaun Prince.. He has rings both ways..
Today, Rajon Rondo would be the best at the next level.
Rondo, but give Wall a few years.

He didn't win a championship in college.
Dan Issel is the best ever at UK and also in the NBA from UK.
Mashburn was awesome at both levels.
Nowsdays, Wall or Cousins. Both will have good long careers.
Without a doubt Rajon Rondo is the best in the NBA!
I think Gerald Fitch is under contract with someone and they have him playing in the D-League or overseas.

Well, the jury is still out on many listed. Looking at the history of the mentioned, Prince and Anderson are the two most successful and IMO, one would have to give the edge to Prince.
Rondo...Why couldn't he play like this when he was at UK?

Rondo set the record tonight for the most assists through the 1st 4 games of a season with 67 assists!!:rockon:

Sweet. Rondo is def the best UK player in the NBA.

Tubby's offense didn't allow him to play his style, which is much like the dribble drive offense. He would've been incredible had he played in Cal's system in college.
Rondo by far
I thought Anderson and Walker were out of basketball. Am I wrong?

Rondo is currently leading the ESPN Sportsnation Poll for "Who is the best Point Guard in the NBA?"!!!
Rondo, wasnt good at UK, but once he got in the NBA he turned into a BEAST of a PG... Just a matter of time for wall... if he can get the jump shot down then he is the best

Your right he didn't my bad...
But one can't overlook a few things he did at UK.. Just to name a few per Wiki:
Prince won SEC Player of the Year in his junior season (2000â2001)[3] - also leading the SEC in free throw percentage (84.3%)[4] - and was named to the Associated Press All-SEC Teams in both his junior and senior years.[5] Kentucky won the SEC Tournament in 1999 and 2001, and Prince was awarded the 2001 tournament's Most Valuable Player award.[5]
Notable individual performances included a 31 point, 11 rebound, 4 assist, 4 steal effort in a 79â59 victory over North Carolina. In scoring Kentucky's first fifteen points, Prince made five consecutive three-point shots. Kentucky shooting guard Keith Bogans compared Prince's performance to "the Chicago Bulls' Michael Jordan blistering Portland in the 1992 NBA Finals."[6] In an 87â82 victory over Tulsa during the 2002 NCAA Tournament, Prince scored a career-high 41 points (along with 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks) to lead Kentucky to the Sweet 16.[7]

I believe rondo was our best player while in college. Winning a few games. Leading the teams in points rebounding and assist if im correct.
Rondo wasn't as good in college because he isn't a college basketball player. His game was meant for the NBA, just like John Wall's is.
I think Wall could pass up Rondo very quickly if he keeps working.
Wall didn't have the option of getting drafted any lower and being on a great team though lol

It was more Tubby keeping a tight lease on him than anything. He had to do everything in the half court and "within the offense".

Haha, i was meaning that rondo wasnt as good in college but he steeped it up in the NBA! I dont think rondo led UK in points but i could be wrong.. I think the Big 3 has alot to do with rondos progress in the NBA though
