Louisville was already losing its best player in Donovan Mitchell to the NBA Draft and the Cardinals were in trouble of losing the next best guy in forward Deng Adel. He initially declared for the draft without an agent in case he didn't like the feedback he received and it seems that would be the case.

The 6'7", 200-pound averaged 12.1 points, 2.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds in his sophomore season while shooting 34.9 percent from beyond the arc and 42.3 percent overall from the floor.
