2. Kobe Rodgers
Kobe Rodgers is the definition of a Swiss Army Knife on the basketball court. Rodgers does a little bit of everything while he’s on the court and is the kind of hustle player that can turn the tide of a game and make way for big moments.
Rodgers is averaging eight points per game after Louisville’s first two contests, but the effects of Rodgers aren’t mostly felt in the points category. In the Cardinals' first game against South Carolina State, Rodgers had four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and even added a block. Then, in the squad's game against Jackson State, he had three rebounds, five assists, and a whopping four steals.
Rodgers is not the one who will get all the glory at the end of the day, but he fits the Louisville system well, and he’s good at what he does. His hard play can turn the tide of the game and might be the reason the Cardinals win.
