Third leading scorer on a Doncic team means you never touch the ball for longer than 2 seconds 
Crawford in 10 was the Hawks second offensive option so I’ll give that one. And that team won a playoff series
I just hope his 3 point shot comes around. I think they’re starting to show they need Carter back too…Fultz will help because at this stage he’s just a rich man’s version of the guy they’re starting (Black).
It will be interesting to see how they develop because right now they have a bunch of young, good, cheap players, but I don’t know if any of them are “that guy” now or in the future (Banchero maaaaybe?)
Poole looks locked in.

At one point Duncan had 11 straight points for the Heat in the 4th quarter. Ended up scoring 19 points in the 4th.

i expect like two people here will get this but it’s really wild he ended up on a blue/white team called the magic after this tweet was sent

So the best Michigan alumni in the NBA are probably Webber, Rice, and Cazzie in some order…right? I dont know if Franz will ever quite reach that level, but going to be a fun career to follow and see if he starts to get to that next tier with Juwan, Jalen, Crawford…

Roy Tarpley when he had a handle on his addiction was damn good.
I think because Duncan made LeBron have a visual meltdown because the Lakers couldn’t figure out how to guard him in the NBA Finals gives him a honorable mention for tier #1

Loy Vaught, Campy Russell, Rudy T also had remarkable NBA careers.

Rudy T is definitely up there. I don’t know anything about Campy Russel other than a knee injury cut his career short. I loved Loy Vaught and he was a solid NBA player for a decade, but not quite top tier. Roy Tarpley was Uber talented and a huge “what if” but isn’t on any list because of his demons keeping him to just 280 games.
Rickey Green at least deserves a mention

He’s naming the best Michigan alumni in the NBA, period, and named two multi-time Allstars, one of whom is a Hall of famer, and a third who at least was an NBA champion, and now he’s getting chided for not naming Rickey Green or Loy Vaught lol
(Tamjanavich at least was a five time all star, possibly on the way to a HOF career (as a player, believe he’s in as a coach) before he nearly got his head taken off)

I meant Green should be mentioned with the next tier, Rose, Howard etc, he was an all-star, something Rose never was

Valid! I’m sort of lost at how he got an AS bid at 14 points per game
Rickey Green is in the top tier of Michigan basketball players if that is the question.
Probably not in the top tier of NBA players that were Michigan players if that is the question.
