3. Deng Adel | Forward | University of Louisville

It was about dang time that Deng Adel had a game where he showed what he is capable of. The even better news, is that I felt like he could have played even better against Southern Illinois on Wednesday night.

Adel was able to get a double-double, after grabbing 12 rebounds and scoring 12 points. While he wasn’t able to hit either of his shots from three, he was 6-12 from the rest of the field.

Every week, we hear about how Adel is one of the best NBA prospects that Louisville has on their roster, however there have been few times where we have seen that talent.

Again, take this with a grain of salt because it was against SIU, but this is the type of performance that we need to grow accustomed to seeing from Deng Adel.
