BTN finally replayed Michigan's exhibition game against D2 Northwood tonight. Way too many turnovers, missed rebounds, and some bad shots, too. The defense did create some turnovers, and the transition offense was great (that could be in part due to the other team's defensive problems, of course), so it will be interesting to see if that translates to games against better teams.
The rotation was about as expected. Brazdeikis commits some dumb fouls, especially on the offensive side, but he's about as skilled as advertised. Matthews shot it better than usual but still made some bad decisions to drive to the rim unsuccessfully. Teske hit a 3, which was cool to see but had a disappointing game overall. Davis looked okay in backup minutes at center. Livers had a lot of good finishes but still can't really create his own shot. Simpson had a bad game while Brooks looked pretty decent, so there may be a more even split in minutes at PG than expected (though they played together at times, too), while DeJulius had limited minutes, but he could emerge later. Johns isn't really ready to play much yet, either.
