Michigan Players in the NBA

I believe he is still trying to feel out what his role on this team is. Garland is definitely top dog. Levert is a high usage type of player and he is try to fit into the Cavaliers system.

Yeah he really isn’t suited for an off-ball role in my opinion. He really needs to be a second-unit lead dog.

If Allen returns, then they have a shot.

Much better start for Levert tonight. 5 assists so far in the first half.

Levert and Trae Young going back and forth right now

That’s one way to describe it. Caris got cooked by Trae but no shame in that

Poole just sold an unwarranted foul call so hard on a three attempt with some theatrical gestures in the air and I felt so proud of him. The body control it takes to sell a foul the way he does while in the air after shooting a 3 is so impressive.

Poole is cookin’. Playing with a nice mix of control and Poole-esque flair.

I know he was a completely different player in college (and I swear I’m not Poole’s dad)….but I really wish we could have seen one season of just absurdly high usage on-ball Jordan Poole. Think he would have been sophomore Stauskas-level prolific but the fit with Simpson was always just a little weird

The last 3 minutes against Northwestern his sophomore year was what I had hoped we would get from him.

Normal though for high ceiling guys not to hit that ceiling in college. Tons of fun watching him now though no doubt about that.

Jp was that dude for the first half of the year. He really fell off the second half. Stands to reason he may have checked out a bit unfortunately. Was a huge JP fan from HS throughout college. Always thought he had more handle than given credit for. Definitely wish we could have seen 3rd year JP but he’s still a player I absolutely loved watching and love watching still

Jordan Poole today is light years better than sophomore Jordan. Unlikely we would’ve seen something like this while he was at UM if given the reigns. He has transformed his body and game.

Also the JP shot vs Houston is iconic and will always put him in the M pantheon because of it. Will never forget where I was when that happened. I got chills just typing that.

You mean ā€œstanding in the cornerā€ wasn’t optimum usage? :wink:

Poole is gonna get the max once his rookie contract is up. If not GSW, then someone else will.
