The Most Under-Appreciated Player of the Calipari Era

A lot of players have made impacts on their team that were unprecedented, but is there a player that was more unappreciated than Julius Mays?

Mays was a graduate transfer for Cal from Wright State. In his one year in Dayton, Mays averaged 14.1 points a game. This came after spending two years at NC State.

After losing pretty much everything off of the 2012 National Championship team, Calipari had to get creative. He of course had his recruiting class that featured Alex Poythress, Archie Goodwin, Willie Cauley-Stein and headlined by Nerlens Noel. He also had NC State transfer Ryan Harrow waiting in the wings to take over the starting point guard spot from Marquis Teague.
