Projecting Michigan Basketball’s starting lineup ahead of Wednesday’s season opener

Six additions and five departures later, the Michigan men’s basketball team is set to enter the second season of the Juwan Howard era.

After the graduation of program cornerstones Zavier Simpson and Jon Teske, this year’s roster won’t look anything like that of Howard’s first season. The Wolverines also lost David DeJulius (Cincinnati), Colin Castleton (Florida) and Cole Bajema (Washington) to the transfer portal in the offseason, but brought Columbia graduate transfer Mike Smith and Wake Forest transfer Chaundee Brown to Ann Arbor.

Perhaps most importantly, Howard welcomed his first recruiting class to campus this fall.
