Let me put a disclaimer on this: My predictions last year were way off. After McGary went down, I thought Michigan would be a borderline NCAA Tournament team.
That being said, this is what a see for Michigan this year:
Michigan
22-9 (11-7), 11-2 ooc.
5 seed
Not bold prediction: Caris LeVert 1st team All Big Ten with an outside shot at BTPOY. It will be hard to beat Kaminsky or Dekker because Wisconsin should be one of the best teams in the country.
Bold prediction: Zak Irvin makes more 3pt FGs than Stauskas did last season. Reports are that he hasn't really improved as a dribbler/attacker, which is fine because we have Walton and LeVert to create shots. He'll likely play a very similar role to last year when he's on the court, but now it will be for 30mpg instead of 15mpg.
