There were certainly many concerns in the massive transition the Michigan Wolverines basketball program had in between the 2018-19 and the 2019-20 seasons. Not only were the Wolverines going to go through a coaching transition, but they also lost three starters — Ignas Brazdeikis, Charles Matthews and Jordan Poole — who accounted for 39.8 of the 69.6 points per game the Wolverines averaged last season.
It was clear Isaiah Livers was going to step in from his sixth man spot into the starting lineup. Some experts and fans had very high expectations for him, hoping he would make the jump to becoming this team’s star.
