Paulius Murauskas
We are going to dream big here because Paulius Murauskas is just too good to leave off this list. Louisville needs a forward who plays physical and has a big frame, and the Saint Mary’s transfer is the perfect fit.
He won’t be cheap, but at 6-foot-8, 235 pounds, the 4-star transfer has the ability to shoot from beyond the arc, from mid-range, back his defender down, shoot off the dribble, and post up. He is an elite scorer who scored 20 or more points 15 times this past season, including two 30-point games.
The former 4-star Arizona commitment is now a 4-star transfer who ranks as high as No. 4 overall and No. 1 among power forwards. The Cards need a lot of help in the frontcourt, and need someone who can be an offensive threat and play physical basketball, and Murauskas is immediately a dream target.
