LeVert in Warm Ups

Submitted by Nate the Newt on February 13th, 2016 at 12:41 PM

He's warming up with team. Beilein had said that when he warms up with them, he's playing. Sounds good! We could use him today against Purdue.

At least spell his name right? (Edit: the OP fixed it)

Maybe the OP didn't go to Hillsdale, where Advanced Name Spelling is an undergrad prerequisite.

However funny....the point remains, spell players names correct.

Either that press conference thing was an elaborate ruse to fool Purdue, or Caris magically recovered in the last 24 hours.

Or he's been steadily getting closer to being healthy, there's no conspiracy, and Beilein's point still stands?

Glad to have him back. Feels like the most important game of the season so far, with games @OSU and @Maryland coming up next.

Hes playing, at this point I think hes more focused on the draft & risking reinjury w a few games to go isnt worth it for him. Too bad

Then why even come back for another year? There's still some opportunity left in this team with him on the floor. The tournament should be pretty open this year if they make it. While I'm sure he's being careful not to risk his future, don't dismiss how badly he wants to play and win.

Not yet definite he's playing, per MLive:

Asked for an official comment, a Michigan spokesman said LeVert is a game-time decision.

But it could fix our getting to the rim which is crucial in spacing the floor.

It will change our ability to attack the basket, regardless of Purdue's size. Might get Hammons into foul trouble as we've done in the past. That would change the game inside.

I know. Good lord, in the last two horrible losses it seemed like someone convinced the guys that inside the arc was hot lava.

I don't remember us getting inside the paint in non-garbage time once.

We're not quick enough off the dribble. LeVert doesn't look fast, but he's so long that he can get past guys in a step or two. Next year is gonna be rough.

I don't know. Xavier Simpson looks really really good. Like Trey Burke good.

Jon Teske is a high-rated big and the consensus on Ibi Watson is that he should be rated higher.

The recruiting sites had not a clue he'd turn into what he did. He was originally headed to PSU.

I remember being more excited about Carlton Brundidge because he was a higher rated guy.

Not at blocking shots. Hopefully both are successful, but they definitely do different things as players. Teske will never be as good offensively in the post as Davis. But man would I love to see a rim protector step up for Michigan.
