Ann Arbor — Sometimes less means more. And for Michigan’s Isaiah Livers, that’s certainly the plan entering his junior season.
The weight is off, mostly because the wait is over. But knowing he’s going to be asked to do more of the heavy lifting for a retooled roster as Juwan Howard makes his debut as Michigan’s head coach, Livers spent the last six months reshaping his body and his game.
Now he’s eager to see just how that’ll look on the court, where a role player who filled every gap and plugged every hole in John Beilein’s roster the last couple years now steps into the Wolverines’ starting lineup as arguably its most pivotal player.
