Anthony Davis’ former teammates from Kentucky’s 2012 championship team have had varied success in the NBA and beyond. While Davis is undoubtedly a superstar, let’s take a look at what happened to his teammates from that memorable season.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who was selected right after Davis in the 2012 NBA Draft, had a career hampered by injuries. He played for eight seasons, primarily known for his defensive skills, and last played for the Dallas Mavericks in 2020. Kidd-Gilchrist has since focused on raising awareness for stuttering, a personal challenge he overcame as a child.

Terrence Jones, the starting power forward on the 2012 team, was drafted 18th overall in 2012. He enjoyed a respectable seven-season NBA career, showcasing his versatility and scoring ability with multiple teams. Jones currently plays for Leones de Ponce in Puerto Rico’s Baloncesto Superior Nacional league.

Marquis Teague, the team’s point guard, was selected 29th overall by the Chicago Bulls in the same draft. However, he struggled to establish himself in the NBA, playing for four teams over four seasons. Teague has since found success playing overseas, most recently with Kolossos Rodou in Greece in 2022.

Doron Lamb, known for his sharpshooting skills, had a brief NBA career lasting two seasons after being drafted in the second round of the 2012 draft. Since then, he has played basketball in various countries and currently competes for UEB Gesteco Cividale in Italy’s Serie A2 league.

Darius Miller, the team’s sixth man, was selected 46th overall in 2012 and began his career with Anthony Davis on the New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans). Miller spent six seasons in the NBA, which is commendable for a second-round pick.

While Anthony Davis stands out as the star among his former teammates, each player has had their unique basketball journeys around the world. The 2012 Kentucky Wildcats left a lasting impact not only in college basketball but also in the diverse paths their players took in the sport.
