As a man that proudly was rocking with Jett at 8 on my big board Iām absolutely extatic. Desmond Bane 2.0 and is gonna be the perfect guy to complete our sl.

The No. 11 pick came into the season with lottery hype and had a respectable freshman season in the Big Ten, but his limited athleticism doesn’t bode real well for the next level. Of all the 2003-born players in this draft cycle, Howard has athleticism markers- rebounds, blocks teals, 2-point shooting, foul-drawing that are easily the worst. His anemic rates in those categories actually are extremely similar to those of another similarly sized Michigan player – Duncan Robinson.
That’s fine … if he turns out to shoot like Duncan Robinson. Anything short of that, and don’t see Howard’s pathway to NBA success. He has to be a 40 percent 3-point shooter on high volume to stick. He shot 36.8 percent from 3 and 80 percent from the line last season, which is fine but won’t be enough for him at the next level.
Betting on anybody to become Robinson-level good from 3 is something of a longshot, but Howard at least showed some of the tools toward making that a possibility in his freshman year. Banking on him becoming an elite shooter is a leap of faith that is probably a worthwhile crapshoot once we get into the second round, but this isn’t the profile of a first-rounder for me.

Thank God we didn’t draft Cam Whitmore lmao

We HAVE to give him #12 right?

Might be decent value for the pick as a shooter but imo insane to pick him when Dick and Hawkins both available

As a Michigan fan I thought he was going to go in the 20s. But then again I thought Franz would bust. Jett can drill them so idk, more disappointed in the Black pick than this one. Hopefully both pan out. LGM!

Immediately has the best touch on this team and that handle is nice too

I don’t hate the pick. Feels like we are going for high level role players. To be honest, if he could average like 10/2/2 for us on near 40% from 3 in a bench role, that would be a great rookie season for him and would make a big impact on our team.

Looks useful. Depends on if Mosely even knows how to use him.

Waste of a pick. I could buy in if he played team defense halfway descent but no. He will get attacked every time down the floor which will put pressure on rim protectors that we donāt even have. Fail

Guy is definitely a shooter.

Could be a sneaky good Weltham type of pick like franz.. I think he has more potential to be a starter than black.

Orlando magic and drafting Michigan players, name a more iconic duo.

I donāt like that hip rotation on his shot. Heāll have calls go against him for kicking his foot out on 3s
But what do I know. Looking forward to next season already
