With Louisville basketball losing four of their top five scorers heading into the 2018-19 season, there were heavy expectations being placed on some of the returning role players from last season to carry the burden of scoring for Chris Mack. None more so than Jordan Nwora, the 6’8 wing out of New York.
His freshman season was less than stellar to say the least, as he played in 28 games, starting zero and averaged 5.7 per game. While a lot of that had to do with David Padgett and the depth at the wing position, specifically with Deng Adel and VJ King, there was still a lot of hope that one day Nwora could develop into a star at Louisville.
