Rosemont, Ill. — Juwan Howard and Rutgers basketball coach Steve Pikiell used the same word to describe Zavier Simpson: quarterback.
There might not be a better word to describe Michigan’s point guard. Simpson, named a preseason All-Big Ten selection Wednesday morning at media day, has been the Wolverines’ rock for most of his career.
He has played in 116 consecutive games in three seasons, amassing 431 assists — seventh-most in program history.
