Skilled 6-6 wing who brought versatility to Louisville
V.J. King is a long, multi-positional guard/forward who stood out for his versatility, downhill athleticism, and ability to stretch the floor, with Louisville listing him at 6-6 and 215 pounds during his Cardinals career[2]. In the 2018-19 season, he averaged 3.9 points and 3.0 rebounds, but his earlier Louisville stretch showed more pop: in 2017-18 he posted 8.6 points per game and was an efficient secondary scorer when given extended minutes[10]. The big question was consistency—when his shot and aggressiveness matched, he looked like a useful two-way wing; when they didn’t, his impact dipped quickly[7][10].
