V.J. King, Christen Cunningham named Louisville basketball captains for 2018-19

“Both Christen and V.J. earned the right of being named captains,” said U of L head coach Chris Mack in a release. “They put in an awful lot of work this off season and hold the respect of all their teammates, so it wasn’t all that surprising they were named. It’s quite an honor for the two of them leading the Louisville Cardinals this season.”

A former five-star McDonald’s All-American, King averaged 8.
