Power Forward
- Kasean Pryor
- J'Vonne Hadley
- Mouhamed Camara
The forward positions are currently difficult to predict due to Aly Khalifa's situation. But, in this prediction, the starting power forward is going to be Kasean Pryor. The 6-foot-10 forward is an elite shooter for his height and can be a solid rim protector.
Pryor is coming off a season-ending injury, but his ceiling is extremely high, and if he can stay healthy this upcoming season, he will be a crucial piece to the Cardinals' 2025-26 roster. Here is where things are tricky. Some may move Pryor to center and put Hadley as the starting power forward, but Pryor fits more naturally at power forward than center, and Hadley is more of a small forward than a power forward. So, for now, Hadley will bounce around, but it is just as likely for Hadley to start at power forward.
Hadley played the majority of last season as the power forward once the injury bug hit the Cardinals. Louisville has also earned a commitment from Mouhamed Camara, a player from the NBA Academy Africa. The Cardinals' power forward room has some depth and the ability to move players between small forward and center positions.
