Before the 2018-19 season, had you been told that Louisville basketball was turning things around with key contributions from Darius Perry and VJ King, you probably would not have been surprised.
However, over the course of the 2018-19 season, two of Louisville’s key returnees lost their form along the way.
Louisville was able to become a top 15 team in the country in January due in large part to players who were role players in 2017-18, or were not even on the team at all.
Jordan Nwora, the ACC’s most improved player, played sparingly under David Padgett last year.
