We take a look at Draft Express’ top five NBA prospects in Louisville basketball’s game against the Virginia Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

All the college basketball lights will be shining on the match-up between the Louisville basketball team and Virginia on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers have owned the Cardinals over the past few seasons, but a red-hot Louisville team will be looking to change that in front of their own fans this week.

Draft Express ranked the top NBA prospects from the ACC for this season and there were five that specifically stuck out for this game, not to mention, the Cards dominated their list:

5. Kyle Guy | Virginia Cavaliers | Guard

Draft Express ACC Ranking: 41st

Year: Freshman

Height/Weight: 6-foot-3 & 155 pounds

Kyle Guy has been a freshman scoring sensation for Virginia head coach Tony Bennett. The Cavaliers aren’t really known for having guys that can put up a bunch of points, but this kid can go off if the situation is presented to him.

Here are his highest scoring games of the 2016-2017 season so far:

  1. 20 points against Grambling (5 threes made)
  2. 17 points against CAL (2 threes made)
  3. 13 points against ECU (3 threes made)
  4. 13 points against Robert Morris (3 threes made)
  5. 12 points against Yale (2 threes made)

It should be pretty clear that Kyle Guy can be a different-maker from the perimeter on any given night. The Cards have to play great defense on the perimeter to keep Guy from getting easy looks at the basket on Wednesday night.
