Michigan Tuesday: Livers Checking His NBA Option

Having options is usually a good thing and Isaiah Livers will check out the NBA and his status in the NBA Draft.  I'm not sure what the NBA feedback was but I would be surprised if Livers is a 1st round draft pick.

The problem for Isaiah, is the normal NBA evaluation and combine will probably be cancelled and NBA teams will just have to rely on tape.  Which will make it tough for a guy probably near the bottom of a top 100 list to make the move up some draft boards.

Iggy left last year, was picked in the 2nd round, and spent most of the abbreviated season in the G-League for one of the worst teams in the NBA.  To me the smart play here is to come back, play your senior year and hope you light it up.    I'm sure guys like Iggy and Poole don't regret their decisions to turn pro, but I still don't think it was the best decision for their future basketball careers.

I don't think you leave a program to be 2nd round draft pick or a Free Agent (if there aren't other factors at your program or in your life).

•  4 Star AZ 2021 OT Bram Walden has Michigan in his top 12. 

• The NCAA did grant Spring Athletes another year of eligibility, Winter Sports was not included and isn't expected to be given the same accommodations.   Which means X and Teske have played their last games at Michigan.
