Michigan Basketball: Every former Wolverine playing in NBA restart

Caris LeVert, Brooklyn Nets

Not unlike Duncan Robinson, Caris LeVert came to Michigan basketball with little fanfare. But after three solid seasons, he was drafted in the first round by the Nets. He’s battled some injuries but has proven to be a steal.

This year, in 39 games, LeVert is averaging 17.7 points and more than four rebounds for a team that’s currently seventh in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Yet, since his return from injury earlier in the year, LeVert has taken his game to another level and he scored at least 20 points in 10 of 16 games before play was stopped due to COVID-19. He even scored 51 points in a game against the Celtics.

With the Nets roster depleted by injury, it will be fun to watch LeVert ball out in the postseason, at least for a little while.
