Derrick Walton Jr., Nik Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III were Key Players for the team, with burst onto the scene with their outstanding freshman seasons. He was assisted by Bacari Alexander, LaVall Jordan and Jeff Meyer. This was John Beilein’s sixth season as Head Coach of Michigan.

If one or both of Diabate and Houstan leave, that would obviously open up some roster space for Juwan Howard to think about.
We'll see how much guys like Jace Howard, Isaiah Barnes and Will Tschetter contribute this season, but they seem like depth bodies at best right now. There's obviously some veteran experience and production from guys like Dickinson and Llewellyn, with some lower-level experience from Terrence Williams, Houstan and Diabate (again, contingent upon the latter two returning) that could morph into high-level play this season, accompanied by high-upside potential from a guy like Kobe Bufkin and then plenty of unknown from a talented, four-man freshman class. If Diabate stays in the draft, that would all but guarantee that we'll see Reed often during his freshman campaign. It's going to be interesting to see how much he plays given Michigan's current roster make up.įinally, Tarris Reed, a 6-10, 260-pound center out of Branson (Mo.) Link Academy, will be Michigan's only other true center on the roster behind Dickinson, so he'll likely earn minutes as a rookie this season. He could be a bit of a liability on defense at the Big Ten level because of his lack size, but definitely not because of his lack of tenacity and effort. At just 5-11 and 167 pounds, McDaniel is diminutive, but he's an absolute blur with the ball, can finish in transition with the best of them and has improved as an outside shooter. Llewellyn can definitely play the spot, but he's not a true 1 like McDaniel is. How much he plays might also depend on Houstan's final decision, but we'll likely see him regardless.ĭug McDaniel is another intriguing players because Michigan is very thin at point guard. He can defend, shoot from the outside, get to the basket and he's a heady, smart player. At 6-7, 220 pounds, he too is physically ready for the next level and has a complete game that will likely result in minutes. The 6-7, 215-pounder out of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Calvary Christian Academy is physically ready for the college game, but he needs polish and figures to be behind guys like Jace Howard, Terrence Williams, Jett Howard and Caleb Houstan (if he returns) as a versatile, wing player who can play multiple positions. Gregg Glenn III is the one player who may not be needed in year one.
