Good No. 2: Deng Adel Came Back From Injury And Played Fairly Well

As much as we have can be frustrated with Adel’s play this season, it was really nice to see him return from injury and play pretty well. I would say that he played really well, but he turned the ball over more times than anyone else on the team. For that reason alone, he wasn’t number one on our list.

Deng Adel finished the game against Pittsburgh with 15 points, 6 rebounds, and one assist.

While Adel didn’t have a good night from the perimeter, he did finish the game against the Panthers going 5-8 from the field. We will take that type of percentage from Adel on a consistent basis.

Hopefully he will be healthy enough to be the difference-maker in Louisville’s biggest ACC game, so far this season, on Saturday against Duke.
