3. Kyle Guy Is Going To Be A Top-Level Player At Virginia

I’ll be completely honest with you all, I wish that Louisville had a shooter like Kyle Guy on their roster. As only a freshman, this kid can really shoot the ball well and added another nine point game against Louisville to his 2016-2017 resume.

The bad news for Louisville, is that Guy didn’t even get into a groove from the three and still had more points than anyone on the Cardinals. Not to mention, he doesn’t even start for Tony Bennett.

I expect Kyle Guy to become a major factor for the Cavaliers down the stretch of the season. His three point shooting ability could be a difference-maker on a basketball team looking to make another deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
