It feels like ages ago when Jaelin Llewellyn injured his knee in a December loss to Kentucky. Not only did the Michigan Wolverines lose their starting point guard, but they also lost one of three playable guards on the roster. Much of the responsibility fell on true freshman point guard Dug McDaniel and sophomore combo guard Kobe Bufkin. Neither of which had led an offense at the collegiate level.
Throughout the season, Bufkin has shown massive strides from the timid player he was as a freshman, and the Wolverines have needed it. It’s no secret that Juwan Howard’s offense is not thriving this season.
