Here's what the transfer from Charleston brings to the table for the Cardinals.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - While the Louisville men's basketball program is actively searching for some front court players, head coach Pat Kelsey landed another player that he is familiar with for his first year at the helm.
Rodgers was named to the All-CAA Tournament Team after averaging 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in three games, helping Charleston win the CAA Championship. He also had 14 points, five rebounds and four assists against Alabama before having to be helped off the court with 4:07 left. Additionally, he's another player that has a tendency to play a little bigger than you would expect, mainly because of the hustle he operates with. Despite being 6-foot-3, he was Charleston's third-best rebounder. Because of this, another way that Rodgers is an effective scorer is on put backs. He does a good job of boxing out, and has great timing on missed shots to snag the offensive rebound and subsequent shot.
A very underutilized aspect of Rodgers' game is three-point shooting ability. He was technically Charleston's leader in three-point shooting percentage last season, but only took 40 attempts from long range. It's a small sample size, but Rodgers is a fantastic catch-and-shoot perimeter shooter, as he shot an insane 69 percent on overall catch-and-shoot jumpers.
Over on defense, Rodgers is undoubtedly a great asset to have. He is someone that applies a lot of pressure on the ball handler, but he also does a great job at getting into passing lanes on cross-court passes and turning that into points on the other end. As you can imagine, Rodgers does very well in transition as the primary ball handler after a steal, though is a tad streaky in 2-on-1 fast break situations.
