Thoughts on who could be the Contingency Plan?

DWAYNE SUTTON IS LOUISVILLE’S UP-AND-COMER YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT

Dwayne Sutton has the ability to be an impact player for Louisville in 2017-18.

The Cardinals’ best player, Donovan Mitchell, has decided to test the NBA Draft waters. Mitchell, a first-team All-ACC guard in 2017, projects as a first-round pick but could return to school. Sophomore small forward Deng Adel, an emerging offensive talent, followed suit, too. Graduate transfer Tony Hicks will depart after using up his eligibility.

If Mitchell and Adel return, the majority of Louisville’s guard and wing rotation is set. However, if one or both of those guys stay in the draft, then there will be a lot of minutes and possessions up for grabs.

Sutton, despite being a walk-on, has an opportunity to crack into the rotation.

From what I've heard, having Sutton as a walk-on might be a big steal for the team. He won't be taking up a scholarship but will have the talent of a scholly player with a chance to make an impact.
