When Louisville basketball opened its 2019-20 season on the road at Miami, aside from an impressive wire-to-wire domination of the Hurricanes, one of the biggest takeaways across the board was the impressive play of true freshman Samuell Williamson in his first-ever college game. In the season opener, Williamson dropped 15 points and collected 5 boards, and eight days later, he scored 15, brought down 5 rebounds, and dished out four assists in a win over Indiana State.
At that point, most Louisville fans saw Williamson as the next big thing for the Cards. Coming off the bench, the 6’7″ wing from Rockwall, Texas played at least 23 minutes in each of Louisville’s first four games.
