109 in the nation in three-point field goal defense a year ago. Head coach John Beilein's team ranked No. The most glaring weakness opponents managed to expose quite often last season was the Michigan Wolverines' defense. Look for Michigan to fill it up from mid-range throughout the upcoming campaign. This number will have to go up in order for LeVert to see more minutes. LeVert only converted 31 percent of his attempts last season.

Robinson shot 57 percent from the field last year, though most of those attempts came at the rim.ĭeveloping into a consistent jump shooter is something that will serve Robinson well. Opponents are going to have a tough time stopping the 6'6', 185-pounder, especially given his knack for elevating over smaller guards.Ī pair of returners who need to improve in this regard are Glenn Robinson III and Caris LeVert. Irvin has the potential to be a dynamic scorer. Point guard Derrick Walton and shooting guard Zak Irvin will both show off impressive jumpers. The incoming freshman class is loaded with shooters as well. Most of Nik Stauskas' attempts will come from behind the three-point line, but he has the ability to score from anywhere.

Rising sophomore big man Mitch McGary developed a solid jump shot at the end of the 2012-13 campaign, which will benefit him greatly next season. Several players on the 2013-14 roster are more than capable of consistently hitting mid-range jumpers. With two of the Michigan Wolverines' best three-point shooters departing, there is reason to believe a greater emphasis will be placed on knocking down baskets inside the arc.
