Louisville’s bruising, high-motor frontcourt force
Behanan was a powerful, physical Louisville forward who made his name by bullying the paint, crashing the glass, and finishing efficiently around the rim; in his 2011-12 freshman season he averaged 9.5 points and 7.6 rebounds, then followed with 9.8 points and 6.5 rebounds in 2012-13, including key run-defining performances for Louisville’s title push. The catch: his career was derailed by off-court setbacks and dismissal from the program, so the fit question is less about talent than reliability and availability. If you want toughness and interior production, the upside was obvious; if you need steadiness, that’s the red flag.
