1. Mikel Brown Jr.
Mikel Brown Jr. will benefit the most from Pryor's return. The 5-star point guard will now be able to have a stretch power forward play with him on the court, creating an elite starting lineup. It is uncertain who will start with these two players, but what is certain is that it will include two elite shooters.
Whether McKneely or Wooley get the nod, now that Pryor will return Brown will run an offense with elite shooting all around him, including the elite power forward. These two players will run a lethal pick and roll or pick and pop, as Pryor can flush it home for two, or pop and knock down the 3-point shot.
Pryor's return will open up the Cardinals' entire offense, meaning that Brown can now play free basketball, utilizing all his elite skills and playmaking. In his season with the Bulls, Pryor splashed 37 3-pointers while shooting 35 percent from the 3-point line.
Brown will now have complete freedom next season and should be one of the best point guards in the nation. The offense will be fun to watch next season, and with Brown steering the ship and Pryor returning, Louisville basketball fans quickly have their eyes on the 2026 National Title.
