Kentucky’s homegrown walk-on guard with sharpshooter flashes
In the 2004-05 season, Preston LeMaster was a deep bench guard for Kentucky, but he still showed one clear calling card: perimeter touch, finishing the season at 40.0% from three-point range with 0.7 points per game across his Kentucky career. He was a 6-foot-2, 188-pound Paris, Kentucky native who brought local-program pride, toughness, and walk-on resilience rather than volume stats. The best fit question? He’s the kind of glue guy and culture piece coaches love, but his value is more about effort, shooting feel, and loyalty to the program than high-usage production.
