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.

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 (2000–2001)[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 79–59 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 87–82 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]
