3. Kasean Pryor
Kasean Pryor is coming off a torn ACL that limited him to playing just seven games last season. Pryror is a crucial returning player for Kelsey as he provides veteran leadership, while also understanding Kelsey's style of play and helping the newer players in the frontcourt.
After Zougris' injury, if he is limited early in the season, then expect Pryor to get more minutes at center and help Aly Khalifa out. Pryor and Khalifa are both coming off injuries, and it will be crucial for Louisville not to get these forwards/centers re-injured.
Pryor proved last season he can play valuable minutes at center as he averaged 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. The 6-foot-10 forward can shoot from anywhere on the floor and be a solid rim protector, and if Zougris is limited or misses time, Pryor must step up to help Khalifa out in the front court.
