Individual Players

Stu Douglass 17min -4
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane
Midrange
3-pt 0/1 0/1

Didn’t shoot well, but was still productive on both ends of the court.

Zack Gibson 15min -8
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane 0/1 1/1
Midrange 0/1
3-pt 1/1

Was only on one positive shift (and even that was just +1).

Manny Harris 37min -9
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane 1/1
Midrange 0/1 0/2 0/1
3-pt 1/5 0/1

Has a bad differential, but he also played nearly the entire game in a 12-point loss.

CJ Lee 37min -4
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane 1/1
Midrange 0/1
3-pt 0/1 0/1

Has really found a place on this team as a point guard. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any offensive game, but he’s great on the other end of the court.

Laval Lucas-Perry 16min -7
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane 0/1
Midrange 0/1
3-pt 1/2

Continued to struggle.

Zack Novak 37min -7
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane 0/1
Midrange
3-pt 2 0/2 1/3

Played admirably against a bigger and more athletic Spartans front line. Alas, he didn’t get any open looks.

Jevohn Shepherd 3min -5
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane 1
Midrange
3-pt

Was only on the court during the stretch of death in the first half. He’s an absolute liability on both ends of the court.

DeShawn Sims 25min  -4
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane 0/1 5/6 4/4
Midrange
3-pt 0/1 0/2

Very good job by DeShawn. Probably a product of the defense, but he didn’t have a single midrange attempt.

David Merritt 6min -7
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane
Midrange
3-pt

Led the collapse on offense in the middle of the first half.

Kelvin Grady 7min -1
Quality 0 1 2 3 F
Lane
Midrange
3-pt 0/1 0/1

Not bad, but not good enough on defense to prove he deserves more playing time.

It appears as though Beilein has sold out for defensive production (Lee, Merritt) at the expense of offensive production. It’s been successful in keeping games close, but it really allows opponents to go on runs when nobody on the court for Michigan can score. The officiating in this game was complete crap, but I think the Wolverines got the better end of the deal.
