Last time that Michigan players played at Moneyball was before the 2016-17 season, I believe. Most U-M players bailed after a week or two.

Why are MSU players so prevalent in this?

It is in Lansing.

The team with Kay Felder, Xavier Tillman, Devin Oliver, Jalen Hayes seems stacked.

Also - Taylor Currie sighting!!

Yeah, didn’t feel it was worth the ride to play pick up ball.

I thought it was because they weren’t barely getting the ball Intentionally.

I am going to follow Currie, he could become a prospect after a year in JC.

Is this basically like the Drew but with fringe-ier pros?

Yeah, it is a pro-am. Just like the Drew. Usually the bigger pro-ams are in major cities but this event always draws a lot of MSU players (because it is in Lansing). Guys like Jabari Parker have even showed up for a game in the past.

It is kind of a running joke that MSU players look amazing at Moneyball in the summer (i.e. one year Tum Tum made half of his threes).

I’m expecting lottery buzz for Tillman after his 3 point Moneyball exhibition.

Graham Couch was CERTAIN that Nick Ward would have a jumper this year based on Moneyball, lol.

DDJ and Rocket watts on the same team and there’s only one basketball…

16

Yeah if they took him only to make him play off-ball they’re gonna have a rough time.

It is ridiculously guard-oriented and defense-free. I sat next to Mo after what ended up being the last game Michigan players attended and he didn’t sniff a touch he didn’t get himself.
