Summary
Continuing our shorter, more frequent format, Shaw breaks down the ins and outs of Michigan's three players who have declared early for the NBA Draft.
He dissects the factors going behind the decision to test the waters, and what will convince Charles Matthews, Jordan Poole and Ignas Brazdeikis to either decide to stay in the draft pool past the May 29 deadline or not. He also discusses fan perspectives, and how fans can acclimate to the changing NBA decision landscape.
Then, he breaks down where the Wolverines can turn to next, investigating the recruitment of three remaining 2019 targets, an early peak at potential graduate transfers and who on the current team can help fill the void the potential departures might leave.
