Michigan Friday: Poole Goes in Round 1 & Iggy in Round 2

I have been wrong a lot lately when it comes to Michigan Basketball.  I was very worried that AD Warde Manuel was going to make the wrong decision for head coach.   I was wrong.

I also thought Michigan's early entrants into the NBA Draft would not get drafted in the first round.   I was also wrong.

Jordan Poole was taken late in the first round to the Golden State Warriors, who needs a few players after their injuries in the NBA Finals.  Poole and the Splash Brothers?

Iggy was taken in the 2nd round by the Knicks with the 47th pick.   This is also a good spot for Iggy who should get some time with the lack of depth on the current roster.  Of course, the Knicks hope to land a few free agents which would hurt Iggy's chances of sticking on the roster.

As expected, Charles Matthews wasn't drafted after tearing his ACL a couple weeks ago.   I hope there is some type of injury settlement he can get, as he was injured working out for the Celtics.    Maybe he can sit out next year and re-enter the draft?

• Don't forget about the big visit weekend for Michigan Football.   We hope to see a few commitments! (see Tuesday's post for expected visitors)

• Michigan Baseball also plays at 2:00 today in the CWS! 

Could be a great weekend to be a Wolverine!
