What to expect in year two from Michigan basketball’s four sophomores

During the tenure of John Beilein, Michigan basketball was able to pride itself on constant development. Players would often show enormous growth in their second year under coach Beilein, going sometimes from limited contributors to full scale stars.

Nik Stauskas went from three-point sniper to all-around star, Trey Burke went from streaky point guard to National Player of the Year, and Moritz Wagner went from 8.6 minutes per game to starting all 38 of Michigan’s contests in his sophomore year.

Beilein is no longer here, however. In his place is Juwan Howard, who comes after six years as an assistant with the Miami Heat.
