Former Michigan basketball head coach John Beilein was extremely successful developing NBA talent over the course of his time with the Wolverines, and eventually worked himself into a position for a promotion to the big leagues.
Beilein left after last season to take the same poisiton with the Cleveland Cavaliers, making him the 11th member of the Michigan basketball chain currently in the NBA. With all the attention that new coach Juwan Howard and this year’s team have received recently, it’s easy to lose track of how these Wolverines are performing at basketball’s highest level.
