The deepest roster in program history might belong to this year’s Michigan basketball team, but it is still largely unproven in one aspect of the game: the center position.
Last season, with Mitch McGary being basically forced to enter the NBA Draft and Jon Horford transferring the Florida, the team had to rely on two true freshmen, a redshirt freshman, and an undersized senior who had limited experience.
D.J. Wilson got injured early in the season and took a redshirt. Despite the year of experience in Beilein’s system as a redshirt freshman, Mark Donnal struggled and proved he still had a lot to learn.
