9. The growth and maturity of Quentin Snider

We all remember how impressive it was when Snider stepped into the guard role in the Elite 8 season a few years ago. Ever since then, he has done nothing but improve his shooting and ability to play the point.

His passing has given all of us glimpses of the great Peyton Siva of 2013 and if he keep improving this season, he could have Louisville going all the way.

He has been involved in more than enough big games by now that he won’t be intimidated by any stage. The even better news is that the offense is going through him. While he can shoot a three every now and then, he will, more importantly, be able to set his teammates up for open shots.

This team has a few guys who could put up some big-time numbers and Snider is just the guy to get them open.
