Captain David Padgett

Pitino announced today that David Padgett was elected by his teammates as captain for next season. At his press conference, Pitino said, "Every player on the team, every coach had him as the unanimous leader. David has the wisdom, the experience and now the health to be a terrific leader of this basketball team." As a junior Padgett averaged 9.5 points and 5.6 rebounds, but was really a difference maker for much of the season in spite of playing with bum knees.
