Peak 5.9 PPG in 1996-97 · Career avg 4.4
Mills walked on at Kentucky despite a full scholarship offer from Georgia, following the path his father Terry blazed under Adolph Rupp — and he earned every bit of what came next. A career 47.4% three-point shooter who was on the court for two national championships in 1996 and 1998, his defining moment was the go-ahead three that capped a 17-point second-half comeback against Duke in the 1998 Elite Eight, a shot forever etched in the lore of the 'Comeback Cats.' He proved that walk-ons at Kentucky are not afterthoughts — they are championship-caliber players.
