3. Jaylen Johnson | Louisville Cardinals | 3.9 Offensive Rebounds P/G

Jaylen Johnson has been struggling a little bit as of late, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t dominating in at least one aspect this season. He is the second Louisville basketball player on this list and he is one of many forwards that Rick Pitino needs to have perform at an elite level this season.

Louisville has a tough stretch of games coming up against Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, and Notre Dame.

The Cardinals have to keep Johnson out of foul trouble because he cannot be a factor if he is sitting on the bench.

If Johnson can keep giving the Cards more opportunities on the offensive end, then they just might have a chance of making a deep run in this year’s NCAA tournament.
