Michigan basketball point guard Mike Smith declared for the NBA Draft on Wednesday afternoon.
Michigan basketball lost its floor general on Wednesday afternoon when Mike Smith declared for the NBA Draft. Smith was assumed to be departing from the program, and now that move is made official, per Smith’s Instagram page.
Smith committed to the Wolverines on April 10th of last year, as a grad transfer from Columbia University. Point guard was one of Michigan’s biggest needs after Zavier Simpson graduated, and Smith was as good a replacement as Juwan Howard could have found.
