Jordan Poole has arrived, and so has Michigan’s ball screen offense

Posted on

We always knew that Michigan could play defense. The Wolverines had a defensive reputation before the 2018-19 season began and cemented that rep as a suffocating defense in November.

Now we know that Michigan can score too. While the defense has regressed gradually (ranked 28th over the last eight games compared to 1st over the first seven), the offense has taken off.

What has changed? The Wolverines have refined their ball screen offense and discovered an elite scorer in sophomore guard Jordan Poole.
