5. Keith Hornsby

Keith Hornsby made a living (or to be accurate, earned a scholarship) as a sharpshooter for the Tigers from 2013-2016, and had the precision to go with his quick draw. The UNC-Asheville transfer was third on the team in scoring and fourth-best in the whole conference from the three point line in 2014-15.

He finished second on the team in scoring this past year and managed to carve out a niche for himself in an offense where many expected freshly-minted recruits Antonio Blakeney and Ben Simmons to take all the shots.

Hornsby spotting up from beyond the arc and draining a three (despite his unorthodox and somewhat awkward shooting form) is a memory that Tiger fans are likely to miss. The SEC Conference Tournament game against Tennessee last season was unfortunately the last of his career after he injured his hernia.
