3. Chad Baker-Mazara
Louisville basketball's dream target is Chad Baker-Mazara. The Auburn transfer was teammates with Kasean Pryor, and the two were seen together in the Bahamas just a couple of weeks ago.
Baker-Mazara is now a 4-star transfer after leading the Tigers to the Final Four and leading Auburn in scoring with his 12.3 points per game. He shot impressive shooting splits as he connected on 44.8 percent of his field goal attempts and 38.1 percent of his 3-pointer attempts.
The 6-foot-7, 180-pound small forward would be an excellent addition to this Cardinals roster and only improve Louisville's depth. He would most likely see most of his time in the power forward position, as the Cardinals are expected to have Ryan Conwell, J'Vonne Hadley, and Khani Rooths run the small forward.
The Cardinals' depth chart is run 10-deep as of now after Scott's departure, and if Louisville can add that elite small forward, the Cardinals would have the deepest roster in the nation. Baker-Mazara also averaged 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.
