Michigan Players in the NBA

Caris is compliant and a good match for KD, the bigger question is can he play with Kyrie?

Jimmy Butler figured it out in Miamiā€¦give up the rock during the regular season to the open man. In the playoffs, slash to the open space because my open man is a threat from three!

PJ Tucker showing right now why Juwan would flash a picture of him when his team was on defense.

Thatā€™s who Iā€™d trade, if I were the Nets.

Durant is the GM in NJ. Kyrie is his chosen partner.

The better Miami plays the more confidence I have in Juwan and where he came from. I was never a big Spoelstra fan but he has proven he can coach and without the big stars. Michigan can be a powerhouse as long as JH stays but coming out of the Miami organization will only increase his value at the next level.

Robinson on fire right now. 20 points with 6 threes. Heā€™s getting face-guarded too, itā€™s crazy how much attention he draws when heā€™d locked in.

Duncan is most likely checking out here as he isnā€™t a part of the closing lineup, but he has played 37 minutes (of 41 available) in a playoff game. The guy is constantly sprinting without the ball, very impressive stuff.

This is a great game even without Giannis. Hope Duncan gets some run in OT and continues his hot shooting.

I like Herro and would choose him for my team for the next five years over Robinson, but I for the life of me canā€™t figure out why he closes over Robinson right now. Spo must think heā€™s a better defender, but I think Robinsonā€™s defense is a bit under-rated (hes fine, not bad - he makes up in size and strength what he lacks in athleticism) and Herro while a superior athlete is clueless.

Maybe he is a little more on-the-ball juice? In this lineup though heā€™d be a third option behind Butler and Dragic.

Want to be clear I typed this prior to reading an actual knowledgeable personā€™s tweet.

Honestly I really liked ellenson, ouch. Was pretty off on that. At the same time I knew levert was a lottery pick in a weak draft and worth the injury risk. . Iā€™m sure only Michigan fans were really on that though.

Ellenson seemed okay on paper. Projected as a top-10 pick in some mocks so he seemed like he might be a steal. In hindsight, I guess there was good reason for him to drop.

Duncan had a very good game last night, BTW.

I have to give Herro credit for his big shots down the stretch, but prior to that time I saw a bunch of off balance missed shots and overdribbling.

Then again itā€™s the NBA and no one really cares as long as those shots go in and he doesnā€™t get the ball stripped.

Yeah well, KD just picked out the coach. So if KD like Caris, and this seems to be the case, Caris is staying.
