Michigan Basketball: Grading Wolverines against Minnesota

Wings

Franz Wagner: A-

Wagner kept up his stellar play with another great game on both ends of the floor. He really does it all for Michigan basketball. Wagner finished tonight with 12 points, five rebounds, and four assists. He also continued to add to his block total with two more tonight.

One of the biggest areas of his game that Franz continues to improve on his play making for others. That was on display tonight with his four assists. He also continues to make strides with his shooting as he knocked down two more threes tonight.

Isaiah Livers: A

Livers broke out of his mini slump with 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting tonight. You could tell from the start of the game that Livers was going to be aggressive and was going to try to get himself going tonight.

He struggled a bit from three but he was solid from two, on defense, and on the glass. I think this was the perfect game to get himself going and build momentum heading into the tough stretch of Big Ten play.

Terrance Williams: B-

Williams only played in seven minutes tonight and wasn’t much of a factor on either end. But Michigan didn’t need him to be and overall, he was fine tonight. I just love his game and think his ceiling is so high. Unfortunately with Livers, Franz, and Dickinson on this team, his opportunities to play are limited.

But I would still look for his role to increase on this Michigan basketball team as the season goes on.
