Michigan Basketball: Franz Wagner would fill a huge need for Wolverines

When you look at the 2019-20 Michigan basketball team, there are a lot of unknowns. The Wolverines lost three starters from last season, as well as their legendary head coach John Beilein.

Replacing Beilein was going to be hard enough. Yet, having to do it without the talents of Ignas Brazdeikis, Jordan Poole and Charles Matthews is even more challenging and that’s the task that lies ahead of Juwan Howard.

To make matters worse, when Beilein left for the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, top signee Jalen Wilson asked for a release from his scholarship and suddenly, Michigan basketball was down another top talent, one that was a skilled 3-point shooter.
