| Michigan point guard, Trey Burke |
It was just a few days ago that Michigan had clinched their spot in the Final Four for the first time in twenty years. However, that honeymoon phase may come crashing down on the Wolverines. As of today, a few sources have announced that the Michigan guard outlook may change dramatically at season's end with the report of sophomore point guard, Trey Burke and junior teammate, Tim Hardaway Jr. leaving for the NBA.
Burke was the leader for the Wolverines this season, averaging nearly 19 points and 7 assists per game. Burke was also selected as Big Ten Player Of The Year this season, along with a great chance at winning the Wooden Award as the top player in the country, which will be announced tomorrow at noon. The 20-year old is projected as the top point guard in the draft and a mid to late lottery selection in the NBA draft.
Hardaway Jr., the son of former NBA star, Tim Hardaway Sr. was another large part of the Wolverines success this season. Hardaway averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds a game for the Wolverines. The 21-year old star is projected as a late first round pick, but his stock may rise due to the Final Four appearance of his Wolverines.
Looking forward to next year for the Wolverines, they will have another top point guard recruit in Derrick Walton of Chandler Park Academy to turn into the next superstar in Ann Arbor. Another top recruit is Mr. Basketball in the state of Indiana, Zak Irvin. Irvin played with Gary Harris for one season in high school, before he graduated and left for Michigan State. Irvin is a 6 foot, 7 inch small forward who can score from any area on the floor.
