3. Adrian Wooley

Louisville's biggest offseason addition was the 5-star transfer Adrian Wooley. The elite 3-point specialist shot the ball above 40 percent last season and connected on 73 3-pointers. The true freshman has the skills to not only shoot but also create his own shot or utilize his craft and drive to the rim.

Wooley and Pryor could create an elite duo. The Cardinals' future shooting guard can break down his defender's drive to the rim and find Pryor for a lob.

Like state for McKneely, the Cardinals' spacing with Pryor on the floor is going to be something fans dreamed of last season. When Reyne Smith was not on the floor, the spacing was dreadful. Now, the Cardinals will have four players who can shoot from beyond the arc, including Pryor. Wooley should be able to get open easily, whether it is a flare screen from Pryor or the Cardinals sharpshooters drawing some more attention.

It was clear that Louisville was just a stretch four away from being legitimate national championship contenders. Now that they have landed their dream target, Wooley and this backcourt should have a clinic on the court every game and shoot their opponents out of the gym.
