The Louisville Cardinals basketball team has a new rising star, and his name is Kamari Lands. The 6-foot-8 forward has been making waves in the 2022-23 NCAA basketball season.
Born on October 23, 2003, Kamari Lands grew up in Gary, Indiana, and attended La Lumiere School in La Porte, Indiana, for his high school education. During his time at La Lumiere, Lands was ranked as the No. 28 overall player and No. 8 small forward in the Class of 2022 by 247Sports. He was also named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2021 GEICO High School Nationals after leading La Lumiere to a championship title.
In August 2021, Lands committed to play for the Louisville Cardinals, and he has quickly become a key player for the team. He has been improving this year, with a 31% three-point shooting average and a 32.5% overall field goal percentage. Lands also has a 90% free throw shooting average, making him a valuable asset in tight games when the Cards need someone to go to the line.
But Lands’ contributions to the Cardinals go beyond his scoring ability. He is a decent rebounder, with an average of 2 rebounds per game, and a solid defender, with an average of 1.5 steals per game.
Louisville has a storied basketball program, with a long list of legendary players who have worn the Cardinals’ uniform over the years. Some of the most notable names include Darrell Griffith, Pervis Ellison, and Russ Smith, all of whom have had their jerseys retired by the team. If Lands continues to excel, he could one day join their ranks.
Lands is a rising star on the Louisville Cardinals basketball team, with a bright future ahead of him. His impressive stats and versatile skills have already made him a key player for the team, and he has the potential to make his mark on the Louisville Basketball Program. Lands is a player to watch in the coming years, and Louisville fans are excited to see what he will accomplish on the court.
