2. Sananda Fru
A player who is going to shock the nation is Sananda Fru. The 6-foot-11, 245-pound forward comes to Louisville from Germany after winning the Basketball Bundesliga's Best German Young Player award last season. Fru is an athletic forward who likes to run the floor, and with his athleticism, he emerges as the perfect James Scott transfer.
Fru is going to be a dominant two-way player for the Cardinals, as he will become Louisville's lethal lob threat. With Brown playing point guard, Fru is going to become one of the best lob threats in the nation. Last year, he averaged 12.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 66.8% from the field.
Now that he will be playing with one of the best playmakers in college basketball, Louisville is going to use him as a screener and have him viciously cut to the rim, getting into position to slam for two. Fru is going to be an X-factor for this team. His athleticism to be the Cardinals' lob threat will open up this entire offense, as the defense will have to have someone in the paint, which can open up a shooter.
Expect Fru to make some noise this season, and have his stock skyrocket thanks to Brown's ability to throw him lobs and find ways to get him open.
