If you could add one former Michigan basketball player to the current roster...

In these hard times (thank you Al Washington), I am proposing a question about our amazing basketball team. If you could take any one former Michigan basketball player and add them to the current team to make them even better, who would you choose?

Note that in this scenario the player would obviously be in their prime, so feel free to include players from the 20th century.

For me, I would pick Nik Stauskas to better our outside shooting and free throw shooting.

Glen Rice. Excellent rebounder and runs the floor, in addition to shooting ability. Character and leadership in spades.

 

After that, Gary Grant. Better on D than Z, plus he can score from anywhere.

My top 5 would be CWebb, Rice, Cazzie, Juwan or Burke. In the end what does this team need that would really help? They need a shooter. In this day and age CWebb would probably be a more developed shooter from outside because when he played the 3 point was not used like today especially by big guys. But I think going with Rice would be the winning pick here. The team plays great defense so would CWebb add that much more? Perhaps but I'll take the offset to have some instant offense.

Maybe I missed it but Louis Bullock would be a great addition. Dude was a baller. Michigan's all-time leader in 3-pointers made, at a 42% clip, and all-time free throws made leader as well. That said, of course the correct answer(s) is Glenn Rice/Chris Webber.
