Michigan Basketball is Capable Without Caris LeVert

One of the biggest concerns I had for this Michigan team heading into the season was how the Wolverines would fare without one of its main contributors.

We’ve had a few opportunities to make that evaluation between Derrick Walton Jr. and Caris LeVert each missing at least two games now. Most notably, LeVert was absent against Purdue on Thursday night. After that performance, I’m confident in saying Michigan is capable without him.

And by capable, I don’t mean anything great or anything bad. It’s a middle-of-the-pack team. Average, maybe just a little better than average.
