Usually I don't post much on the NBA on here since this is a Michigan blog, but when there's a major development such as Juwan Howard winning an NBA Championship or Michigan's involvement in the NBA Draft, I will post on the NBA. None of the events in regards to former Michigan players in the NBA have been major events recently, but since there has been a few of them and it is the offseason, I figured I would post on them.
I'll start with the bad news first. The bad news is that former Michigan guard Manny Harris has been released from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harris had a brilliant career at Michigan. In his freshman season, he made the 2nd All-Big Ten team and the All-Big Ten freshman team. He then led Michigan to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in over ten years in 2009, while also earning 1st team All-Big Ten honors from both the coaches and the media. His junior year and final year at Michigan wasn't as spectacular, but he still earned 3rd team All-Big Ten honors.
