Saw the Mavs signed Jett Howard to a two way contract. Didn’t realize he was already let go by Orlando. Never understood how he went 11th in the draft and him being a bust seemed predictable.

just about the easiest prediction one could make

Rissacher, Howard… reclamation projects like this definitely fit what Dusty tried to recruit at Michigan. Betting on previously identified talent that wasn’t used well.
Obviously it is Schmitz and Masai driving the show, but these moves really fit how Dusty operated at Michigan well.

Bufkin is a year younger than Yax, which is crazy to think about

I always thought he left too early, but each guy has to do what they think is best. You never know if a different decision would work out any better.

He did make $14 million and get off the bus before it imploded.

If that is all he wanted, then he made the right choice for himself.

Absolutely the right choice, especially in hindsight. Love to see him get some run this season.
Less drama than Jordan P. and $30M cheaper.
Your take is that the worst season in the history of Michigan basketball would’ve been better for his development than the NBA?

Well, on Earth 2, the 23-24 lineup is Love-Bufkin-Shannon-Nkamhoua-Dickinson, and Martelli won national coach of the year (lost in the round of 32).

In my opinion, Hunter should have doubled down and wore a ski mask to every game. In fact, he should have played all of the games in a ski mask too. He was a coward for not seeing it through.
