1. Falling: J'Vonne Hadley
J'Vonne Hadley is a valuable piece to this Cardinals squad. Louisville basketball needs Hadley to be aggressive on both ends of the floor and be that elite third option on offense that he has shown he can be.
Hadley didn't have an awful ACC Tournament experience, but the Cardinals faithful were asking him to be more involved and aggressive on the offensive side. Hadley averaged 10 points per game, but that stat is skewed, as he scored 20 in their win against Clemson, and then six points against Duke and four points against Stanford.
The Cardinals 6-foot-6 guards shot 23 percent from downtown, and 43.9 percent from the floor. Hadley averaged two turnovers per game with two assists per game, making his assist to turnover ratio equal.
Louisville needs Hadley to attack the basket and be that dominant big guard he shows flashes of this season. The Hadley that has shown up vs Clemson multiple times has to be the Hadley Pat Kelsey gets every game for the remainder of the season.
Hadley averaged 12.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists, while shooting 51.5 percent from the floor. He has secured a career-high of 32 points back in Louisville's win over Clemson, and scored 15 points or more in 10 games this season.
The Cardinals need all four of these players to provide quality minutes in the NCAA Tournament, and help lead the Louisville basketball team to their first NCAA Tournament win since 2017.
