Restoring that Fab 5 feeling with Juwan - The 2019-2020 Michigan Basketball Thread

[Trust Me]

Roster:

#0 - 6'0 David DeJulius G
#2 - 6'9 Isaiah Livers F
#3 - 6'0 Zavier Simpson G
#5 - 6'6 Adrien Nuñez G
#11 - 6'11 Colin Castleton C
#15 - 7'1 John Teske C
#21 - 6'8 Franz Wagner G
#22 - 6'7 Cole Bajema G
#23 - 6'9 Brandon Johns Jr. F
#24 - 6'5 CJ Baird F
#32 - 6'0 Luke Wilson G
#44 - 6'10 Jaron Faulds F
#51 - 6'11 Austin Davis C
#55 - 6'1 Eli Brooks G

Head Coach: Juwan Howard
Assistant Coaches: Phil Martelli, Howard Eisley, Saddi Washington.

I'm not expecting much of a drop off this year. Howard's got a good amount of talent coming back, and some young kids that can play. As of today, I can see a 2nd round tourney team, that can become a sweet 16/elite 8 squad with good health and some luck. Next year we should be able to take off.

Exhibition game 1 is in the books. The team looks more fun to watch than ever. They're getting up and down the floor, but they're keeping their big men involved too. Which is genius to me, because when they recruit, they'll be able to tell the big me that they'll be included in all facets of the game.



Livers is balling. Teske looks slimmed down. Castleton is gonna surprise some people. I like our centers this year. Good length. Good shooting.

Lets get it!

Do y’all have a British commentator?

@Trust Me loved how the offense looked last night. Up and Down pace and shooting early in the shot clock. Brandon Johns looked great in this offense. Hitting the 3 and attacking the basket. Dejulius did too. Also like Adrian Nunez shooting form. Looked like Klay Thompson. Need to get more comfortable out there tho. Zavier looked good running the offense. Same the Isaiah Livers. Want to see more from the defense. Looked passive a few times on that end.

It was 2 students.

Please. Never again.

I need to see Dejulius break out. He was such a beast in high school.

why wasn't I in the OP @

Been reppin' UM but I digress..

Yeah they looked good and I also think a sweet 16, possible elite 8 will be deemed a very successful season. There will be times this season where we will see how good of a in game adjuster Howard can be. Coach B was great at it at times.

I hope Simpson can hit some threes and free throws this season.

Get to see how the team looks tonight against App State.

 

[NigerianDonDada]

Dominant 1st half. Lazy 2nd half play. Was damn near embarrassing.

 

[NigerianDonDada]

Great quality win tonight Teske in the post him and Simpson had a great 2 man game. Livers ate too.

Y’all heard that Todd didn’t sign like he said he would? (In the early period)

Got a slight feeling he might go overseas won't believe him coming to Michigan until he's in Ann Arbor. Hopefully Juwan and company keep recruiting other prospects.
