I don't go back to the days of Ralph Beard, Cliff Hagan & Frank Ramsey. So just going with the players that I saw play at UK........ My 5 would be

1. Jack Givens
2. Derek Anderson
3. Mel Turpin
4. Mike Casey
5. Rex Chapman

With my 6th man being Rajon Rondo
 
1. Mike Casey
2. Rex Chapman
3. Ralph Beard
4. Jack Givens
There are too many to name 5 or the 5th. Go to bigbluehistory.net website and review the list of Kentuckians that could be argued should be on the list...Hagan, Ramsey, Jones, Adrian Smith, Bennett, Lickert, Hatton, Lee, Turpin, Minnefield, Cox, and on and on and on.
 
There's been too many good ones to try and rank them, but I remember Walt Allen that won the 2005 mr.basketball for south laurel high school he was a treat to watch..
