Louisville’s Stretch-Forward Shooter with Size and Skill
In the 2024-25 season, Noah Waterman gave Louisville a valuable 6-foot-11 floor-spacer, averaging 6.1 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 36.9% from the field and hitting 39 threes, with strong academic and veteran credibility to match.[3][11] He’s best as a modern stretch forward: big enough to rebound and contest shots, skilled enough to pull defenders out of the paint, and experienced enough to fit into a structured ACC rotation.[3][12][14] The main question is consistency after a thumb injury sidelined him in early 2025, but when healthy he looks like a smart, low-drama glue piece rather than a high-usage star.[10][14]
