No. 11 – Michigan

Unlike rival Michigan State having a bunch of young players to develop Michigan has NBA players that have already come and gone. Players like Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, and Juwan Howard, so most of the Fab Five. They also have other players that many people never really heard of or remember very well in Glen Rice and Rudy Tomjanovich. The Wolverines are a school that is always near the top in NCAA but it just seems that nowadays it does not translate very well to the next level.

That is not to say they have no one in the NBA now, but most of those players are people that you would want to fill out a roster not really to build around. People like Tim Hardaway Jr., Caris LeVert, and Jamal Crawford. I think that they are a great school but, are just not a place you go to in order to be a big-time player in the NBA.

While they do groom their players better than most it is for the college level, not the NBA level. I think that they could have a few more coming into the draft in the next couple years but as of now, I do not see them going in any direction besides down in the next few years.
