2. Deng Adel | Louisville Cardinals | Forward

Draft Express ACC Ranking: 16th

Year: Sophomore

Height/Weight: 6-foot-7 & 200 pounds

While Deng Adel isn’t having the season we all expected him to have, his performance against Kentucky will be one that we will remember for a long time. Adel had a season-high 18 points in the Cards’ biggest game of the 2016-2017 season and will be looking to back it up against a very stout Virginia defense.

As of right now, I don’t believe that Adel has done enough in college in order to be drafted in the NBA after this season is over.

If he does elect to stay, the Rick Pitino is going to have one very talented and experienced player in Deng Adel next year.
