4. Will We Finally See More Of V.J. King?

Louisville fans have been craving to see more of VJ King this season for the Cardinals. He has proven to be one of the team’s best shooters and could be the difference in a back-and-forth game against the Wildcats this week.

However, Rick Pitino has used King sparingly throughout the first part of the season.

Were those teaching moments? Was Pitino trying to let King sit and watch, while learning to play his style of basketball?

Honestly, with Pitino, it’s always hard to tell, but what I do know is that Louisville needs more of their McDonald’s All-American if they want to beat Kentucky on Wednesday night.
