Submitted by HelloHeisman91 on

This was announced last night and I can't believe that it hasn't been posted yet.  It's almost like there is cloud of guilt surrounded his name on this board.

If only you were talented enough to play college ball and be a potential draft pick, you would have shown your heart. But no, your talents lie in making bald assumptions about a person's character and questioning his dedication to a team on the internet.

his dedication to the team at all! I saw Spike and Caris on the bench heavily invested in each game, celebrating big shots and biting their fingernails in close games down the stretch, teaching their teammates and offering encouragement. Caris could have gone pro last year, but wanted to spend one more year in Ann Arbor. No one can question his dedication. And as far as character is concerned, both have been outstanding representatives of U of M and the basketball team on and off the court!

These are two of my all-time favorite Wolverines! I am disappointed their careers were cut short.

I don't expect anyone to play hurt. And they certainly don't owe anything to me, a random fan, to risk their health playing hurt. You haven't been understanding the message I'm intending at all, thats my bad. You are treating my posts like I am bitter towards guys not playing hurt, thats not what I mean in any way.

And the cracking in my elbow every time it bends is all too real.

No I'm understanding your message pretty well. You're really tough and awesome and you think Caris could have been the same. But he wasn't. You're not mad at him, but you're way tougher because you played through injuries and hid them from your coach. Passive aggressively shitting on Caris while bragging about how tough you are is the exact message you were portraying

He probably should have had this surgery, as soon as the problem reoccurred. That would have gotten him on track for NBA purposes.

He broke his left foot again a long time ago. That was the only logical reason the staff would keep the injury a secret. It kills his draft stock. It's really unfortunate for Caris and I feel horrible for him. Foot problems derail basketball careers. Hopefully he can overcome it.

Yet he didn't play because he had his sights set on the NBA. Feel bad for him, and the people who gave him shit should feel bad as well.

It's very unfortunate that these recurrent injuries happened to such a talented player.  I have a different take on things than some of you when the opportunity to go pro avails itself.  I'd jump at the chance and come back later and finish my degree.  I believe Michigan provides this perc for its athletes.  

I hope this latest surgery solves his problem.

In an MLive look at LeVert's draft stock published earlier this week, three NBA three scouts described the 6-foot-7 guard's value as teetering on a delicate balance of risk versus reward and future medical evaluations.

I would think it is entirely possible that he still goes in the draft somewhere - possibly not until the 2nd round - but yeah, it seems like some teams would definitely shy away from the uncertainty. It would be cool to see a team take a chance because we've seen what he can do when he is healthy and he could find himself a home at the pro level. 

In any case, hopefully his recovery is a speedy one. It is a shame that he had injury troubles - I know all of us would definitely liked to see more Caris at Michigan.

...my doctors turn me into a sort of RoboCaris and then fought crime in Old Detroit and won the national title for Michigan by myself. I guess LeVert is just not hardcore.

It would be cool if he get drafted by the Pistons. Fits the SVG's system well. He'll be able to backup KCP and provide depth at SG. They really don't have anyone good enough to spell KCP.

I never thought I'd hear those words.  I agree he fits SVG's system, but I think we could bring him along slowly if Jodie Meeks is healthy next year.  Parity still reigns in the Eastern Conference, so they can probably limit his minutes during the regular season and unleash him in the postseason.  I'd like to see him be a regular contributor for the 2017-18 season.
