2. Kasean Pryor
Kasean Pryor is a player who is in many Louisville fans' starting five to start the season. However, coming off a season-ending ACL injury, it makes sense to have Hadley start at power forward. However, after a month of basketball, it would not be shocking if Pryor steals either Hadley or the starting center spot.
Pryor is an athletic forward who is dominant on both ends of the floor. His ability to steal and block on one end, while splashing 3's and being explosive on the other end, is what makes him so unique. Louisville was gut-wrenched when he tore his ACL in the game against Oklahoma, but now they have high expectations for the USF transfer to be that dominant two-way player after getting healthy.
Pryor can start at either the power forward or the center position due to his defensive and shooting abilities. Last season, the 6-foot-10, 225-pound forward averaged 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game, and in his last full season, he averaged 13.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 44.7 percent from the floor.
His ability to shoot from deep while having a massive rim and paint presence will make him one of Kelsey's stars next season, and he will eventually get a shot at the starting lineup as the season progresses.
