Louisville basketball: The most underrated players of the 21st century

For the last 19 years, Louisville basketball has been a program that has featured star-after-star-after-star.

Francisco Garcia, Taquan Dean, Peyton Siva, Terrence Williams, Donovan Mitchell, Russ Smith, Terry Rozier, Gorgui Dieng, the list goes on and on of the stars that have played under Rick Pitino during the new age Louisville basketball era.
