You can go back and look for yourself. Frazier is not better than Brooks.
He’s now trying to say we are dumb for not including Curbelo when he didn’t even pick Curbelo lol.
I use Torvik for preseason predictions. Nothing else.
Lol then why did you bring up Curbelo if you agree that he wouldn’t be on the ideal starting 5??? I mean you don’t even have Curbelo in your lineup.
So let me get it straight, you’d rather have a guy who’s best season points wise is lower than the others career average, all while being the the worse defender and ball-handler…
Whatever will get Eli Brooks on to a team, huh?
You are the only one going full homer here. No one else even mentioned Frazier let alone actually put him in their 5.
A backcourt of Ivey and Curbelo has 2 guys who were garbage deep shooters last year. I think it makes sense to try to balance it out.
Next time they play maybe Brooks will show some of this “skillset” he has such an advantage in. Lol
I was more so using that as an example of when he was asking me why Frazier was on no list’s.
Not only was he not on anyone’s list, no one even mentioned him. Many other players to choose from.
I agree with this. If your first assumption is Ivey then Brooks is definitely the better fit to share the backcourt with him. Frazier’s defense doesn’t come into play as much since Ivey is also expected to be a very good defender with his length and athleticism. A better argument would be Curbello + a non-Ivey SG than Ivey + Curbello IMO.

They didn’t give a 2nd year coach who had just finished 9th in the big ten the year before the benefit of the doubt after returning only 4 players from said 9th place finish?CBS ranked Michigan 9th in the Big Ten last season.

The Illini will have their hands full fending off the Hawkeyes with Wisconsin and Michigan State not far behind
9. Michigan
Michigan coach Juwan Howard is replacing the heart of the team's interior and exterior, Jon Teske and Zavier Simpson, but he's got leading scorer Isaiah Livers to help soften the blow after he punted on the opportunity to stay in the NBA Draft. Livers is one of only four returning players for Howard in Year Two, with his most daunting task yet in replacing Simpson at point guard made more difficult with David DeJulius, the expected replacement, transferring out. There's more questions than answers surrounding this team but building around Livers gives the Wolverines an advantage from occupying the cellar-dwellar territory.
I’m going Curbelo, Ivey, Houstan, Liddell, Kofi. I’m not putting a role player on my team when I have the pick of the litter. You’re not stopping that team even without a second shooter.
You have to respect Liddell and Houstan at the 3 point line. I’d bet Liddell raises his percentage to the 35-36% range this year. Ivey and Curbelo will probably be north of 30. It’s not great spacing, but that team is loaded.

Sometimes you look for something that isn’t there. People would have been bat-shit crazy to rank Michigan in the top 3 in the big ten going into last season. Same with Purdue finishing top 4. Both Michigan and Purdue outperformed expectations, enjoy it. Doesn’t mean people were crazy to have them that low before the year began.
True but no one knows how that talent will translate right away. A lot of people thought Dickinson was going to be good but not near as good as he turned out to be right away.
