7. Shooting Off the Bench from David Levitch

Every National Championship hopeful team needs a guy off the bench like David Levitch. He has experience, a great three point shot, and the will to win. Does anyone remember a guy named Tim Henderson?

I’m not saying that it’s going to happen, but can you think off another under-the-radar guy who could come off the bench and knock down a couple of three’s in March?

Rick Pitino has put Levitch in some big games over the years, which forces me to believe that he trusts him to be productive when on the floor.

Again, every team needs a guy like Levitch. Don’t be surprised when he gets the Cards back into a game that we thought was lost this season.
