Larry Stamper, the only UK player as tough as Chuck Hayes. He rebounded heads if you got in his way.
Pat is #13 on the all time scoring list and Padgett had 1252 career points. Wtf are you talking about?
I would say Jarred Vanderbilt..Not many games though
Since it seems like we aren't being to strict I'll throw Nazr out there. Obviously had the intangibles with how long he hung around in the NBA
Epps is one of the most under-rated, under-appreciated players in KY basketball history.
Not a fan favorite, but FRESHMAN Ashton Hagans should be mentioned.
Yep Miller was the Heart of that squad, he was the veteran who led them all year long. Obviously AD/MKG/Jones were the reason the really were the best team but as you said he could be counted on at the times they had issues.
I’m seeing a lot of “serious scoring threats” listed.
Andre Riddick was the first guy that came to mind for me.

Did you not understand the question?
You must’ve been watching on drugs if you don’t think those two guys were scoring threats.
Clearly Jamal Mashburn, Tony Delk and Ron Mercer are the answers. I’m not sure how I missed those guys…
Chuck Hayes, Cliff Hawkins, Rondo, Noel.
Two in the NBA that stick out are Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman.

In no particular order:
1) Charles Hurt
2) Heshimu Evans
3) DeAndre Liggins
4) Winston Bennett
5) Erik Daniels
Isaiah Briscoe was close as was Roger Harden
The title of the thread "non-serious scoring threats" does not match what the OP then explained (guys who contributed more than only scoring).
Looking at some of the names people have mentioned.
Oscar (NPOY) - led nation in rebounding, but also led team in scoring (by almost 5ppg) so he was a serious scoring threat
Wheeler - top 10 assist guy, good defender, scored 10ppg
Ulis (1st Team AA, SEC POY) - SEC defensive POY and SEC assist leader so certainly did more than score, but at over 17ppg was not a non-scorer it was also a big part of his game
WCS (1st team AA) - yet did not score 9ppg, has to top the list!!! Even if you look at his per 30min scoring of 10.3ppg is not a lot
Noel - the best 2-eyebrow shot blocker ever at UK (and only 0.26/gm behind AD). He had 9.5rpg, 4.4bpg, and 2.1spg. His scoring was only 10.5, although I think just before his injury he started scoring more. But should be in top 5
AD (NPOY, Def-NPOY) - also 10.4rpg and 4.7bpg. But he was our leading scorer (14.2ppg), so can't call him a non-serious scoring threat. But he no doubt did way more than score
MKG - he just did a little bit of everything, but his 11.9ppg was only 2.3 behind our leading scorer
Patterson - was 2nd on team in scoring all 3 years at UK, not a great defender, I don't see how anyone lists him
Rondo - sort of like MKG he did it all, was even our leading rebounder as Soph (more than our C Morris), but was our 2nd leading scorer even if only 11.2ppg
Hayes also did a lot of things, while in 4 years never reaching 11ppg. Good defender and rebounder, but not "great".
Daniels - scored 14.5ppg (2nd on team) so not non-scoring threat. Like that whole team (Hayes, Fitch, Hawkins, Azubuike), not great at anything, just did what it took to win.
Epps - while he may have been the 8th best guy on the 96 team, he may have been the most important one, all while scoring only 6.7ppg
Riddick was also a good choice, shot blocker, rebounded ok, couldn't score at all
I'd have to go WCS, Noel, Epps, Riddick, and ?
