He’s a solid player that fits Beilein’s offense really well – it is unfortunate that it didn’t work out for him at Michigan. In a loss to OSU earlier this season he had 15 points and 7 boards. Evan Smotrycz ( Maryland) – He seems to have found a home on the future member of the conference, averaging a solid 12.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.There have been three recent transfers that still maintain college eligibility. Over at TTB there is another favorite post of mine where Magnus highlights the performance of former Michigan players or recruits who ended up at other schools for one reason or another. I’ll even use that Udoh mention as a segway to another feature I’ll steal from. He averages 26 minutes per game and contributes 4.7 points and 3.9 rebounds on average. Epke Udoh ( Bucks) – Udoh has primarily been a role player but a solid one.It would have been interesting to see him stick it out here at Michigan instead of transferring to Baylor. There actually is a fourth former player in the NBA that has often been forgotten as Beilein has built his program into a national power….Epke Udoh. Jamal Crawford ( Clippers) – He’s been in the league for a long time now and really only played about a dozen games at Michigan, but we can still claim him as ours – right? His solid career continues with his 16ppg average and percentages of 81/43/36.He’s averaging 7.9 points and 1.1 rebounds with a slash line of 84/46/41 – pretty impressive outside shooting. Tim Hardaway ( Knicks) – Hardaway is off to a solid start considering the number of wing players he’s competing with on the Knicks.The 2-point percentage isn’t great, but when matched with his 4.9 APG he’s having a good start to his rookie year. He’s averaging 29 minutes per game with a slash line of 90/37/34. Trey Burke ( Jazz) – As Brian pointed out, he’s been a significant help to the Jazz who were woeful without him. Now that Juwan Howard has moved on to coaching, there are only three former Michigan players in the NBA. I thought I’d try to do the same for basketball now that we actually have a couple of recent players featured in the league. You see this on Touch The Banner, Maize n Brew, and it is has been a prominent component in The Wolverine publication for years. One of the most common blog posts during the football season is to document the performance of former Michigan players in the NFL.
