Louisville Basketball: 5 Impact Players For The UK vs. UofL Game
By Derek Snyder
Season Stats: 30.2 min, 15.1 points per game, 6.9 assists per game, and 1.7 steals per game
If there is one guy that I would love to see play for Louisville, it would be De’Aaron Fox. This kid is something special and is going to be a successful player in the NBA for many years to come. However, the bigger and more pressing problem is if he will torch the Cardinals this coming week in the Yum Center?
Fox is one heck of a point guard for John Calipari. His ability to pass the basketball, force turnovers, and be athletic as Lamar Jackson is what makes him one of the best players in America.
Okay, I may have jumped over too far with the Lamar Jackson comparison, but you get the picture.
Louisville cannot afford to let Fox beat them with his scoring on Wednesday night. He isn’t a guy that they rely on to get points, but he does tend to close games with his ability to score in transition.
If the Cards can keep him silent, then that will give them a great shot of being in this thing until the end.
