![]() Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Michigan Wolverines guard Kobe Bufkin (2) goes to the basket on Seton Hall Pirates forward Tyrese Samuel (4) in the first half at Crisler Center. It will be interesting to see how his offensive game fits in with the Wolverines. McDaniel is a 5-foot-11, fast, high-speed guard who has good court vision. Not only does Llewellyn need to be the starting PG on this Michigan team with Collins leaving the program, but there is nobody else on the roster that fits into the backup role other than incoming freshman Dug McDaniel. With the Wolverines being a poor outside shooting team last season, Llewellyn will surely help there. Jones shot 34% from 3 and Collins shot 16% from 3. Michigan will get a nice uptick in 3-point shooting when it comes to the senior guard since he shot nearly 40% from 3 last year. Llewellyn only averaged 2.5 assists-per-game at Princeton, but he was the main scorer there, and he will have some help on the floor this upcoming season. Collins was pegged to be the starting PG this season and it looked as if Llewellyn would fit right into shooting guard - a more natural position - but now that Collins opted to leave, Llewellyn will have to be the floor general. ![]() Michigan is down its top two point guards from last year’s Sweet 16 team after losing Devante’ Jones to graduation, and Frankie Collins to the transfer portal. Starter: Jaelin Llewellyn (21-22 stats: 15.7 points-per-game, four rebounds-per-game, 2.5 assists-per-game, and 39% from 3) (Photo by Rachel O’Driscoll/Getty Images) With all that being said, we are going to do our best to predict what next year’s lineup is going to look like when Michigan takes the court for the first time.īOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – MARCH 12: Jaelin Llewellyn #13 of the Princeton Tigers dribbles the ball during the Ivy League Basketball Tournament Semifinals game against Cornell Big Red at Lavietes Pavilion on Main Boston, Massachusetts. The bigger question mark from the incoming freshmen will be how does new forward Gregg Glenn fit into this year’s rotation, or does he see a redshirt year? Since Moussa Diabate declared for the draft, incoming center Tarris Reed should see significant playing time, and point guard Dug McDaniel should see some backup play as well. The Wolverines have a solid recruiting class coming in the fall with Juwan Howard’s son, Jett Howard, headlining the class. While the Wolverines lost some contributors from last year’s team: Caleb Houstan and Moussa Diabate to the NBA, Frankie Collins to Arizona State, and Brandon Johns to VCU, Michigan added a couple of key pieces this summer with the additions of Jaelin Llewellyn (Princeton) and Joey Baker (Duke) along with Khayat. ![]() Barring any late surprises, the Michigan basketball roster is set going into the 2022-2023 season now that the Wolverines landed Youssef Khayat, the Lebanese basketball sensation, on Sunday.
