3. Luke Kennard | Duke Blue Devils

Luke Kennard is definitely one of the main players that Louisville must slow down on Saturday. He is currently averaging 20.4 points per game, which ranks him as the fourth best scoring threat in the entire ACC.

As only a Sophomore, Kennard is playing much better with improved minutes this season. He is not only averaging 20.4 points per game, but he is also averaging 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game as well.

He is truly becoming a difference-maker on a Blue Devils team that is highly talented, but they are currently dealing with a ton of off-the-court distractions. If Duke can just stay above sea-level for the rest of this season, Kennard will be a large reason why they can make a Final Four run come March.
