The fall of Zak Irvin has been a sad one to watch for Michigan basketball this season. A very promising talent at one point, he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, unable to contribute in a substantial way for the Wolverines.
To be clear, we’re talking strictly about scoring points here. Irvin’s value—maybe this will shock you—extends beyond his ability to put the ball in the basket. He’s an improved defender and underrated facilitator in the offense, but we’re constantly talking about production as it pertains to points, so that’s where we’ll stay.
