Michigan Basketball: 3 thoughts on Isaiah Livers declaring for NBA draft
Livers would fit well with Christopher, Todd if they come
One thing I have speculated about is whether or not Livers would want to play alongside Isaiah Todd and Joshua Christopher. I wondered if he had any concerns about his draft stock getting hurt by playing next two five-star talents who could bring down his usage, along with a guy like Franz Wagner.
But the great thing about Livers is that what makes him an interesting prospect for the pro ranks also translates to playing with those guys. He shoots the ball, he’s a solid defender and rebounder, he’s a skilled offensive player in terms of ball handling and passing and he’s a great teammate.
If Livers returns, he says that he would fit in with the new, young talent and that they would be a family.

"(Juwan Howard) only recruits good dudes."
He would shine in a lineup with Christopher, Wagner and Todd and he knows that. He didn’t have any qualms about playing for Michigan basketball next season saying, “Juwan only recruits good dudes.”
Good in the sense they are good to play with and also really talented considering Michigan basketball already has four top-100 commitments and could get another any day from Christopher, a top-10 recruit.
If Livers returns, he would still start and have a huge role on the team and if he leaves, it will have nothing to do with who else might be joining.
