4. VJ King | Louisville Cardinals | Forward

Draft Express ACC Ranking: 20th

Year: Freshman

Height/Weight: 6-foot-7 & 190 pounds

McDonald’s All-American VJ King is currently fifth on the Cards in points scored per game with 7.3. That’s highly impressive since he is averaging at least seven less minutes per game than any Louisville starter.

Rick Pitino hasn’t used King as much as we thought he would this year, but that doesn’t mean he won’t work him more into the game as the season progresses.

He barely played at all versus Kentucky, which was pretty shocking, however he could get more minutes against a Virginia basketball team that isn’t nearly as intimidating as the Wildcats.

Next: Number 3
