Hunter Dickinson and DeVante’ Jones both withdrew from the NBA Draft this week, which means Michigan’s 2021-22 roster can officially be written in ink. Neither decision was a surprise, but both are significant for Juwan Howard’s program entering his third season.
Together, they cement Michigan’s status as a contender in 2021-22. A team that should expect to compete for banners once again. Here are five thoughts on both decisions, Michigan’s roster composition, what could go wrong, and how this team stacks up against recent era Wolverine teams.
Still to come
- This isn't a surprise
- Michigan is too deep not to contend
- Feedback should align with winning
- Cautious about point guard
- Michigan's defense could be even better
