Caris LeVert Brings Intrigue and High-Upside to Brooklyn
Caris LeVert was one of the most exciting players on the Brooklyn Nets to watch last season. Sean Marks swung for the fences by selecting LeVert 20th overall in 2016 and so far, this gamble has paid off.
LeVert used all four years of his NCAA eligibility playing for the University of Michigan. He had a rocky collegiate career injury wise. There were stints were some analysts projected him as a surefire top-10 pick yet leading up to the draft, Bleacher Report had him projected as the 44th pick. His time in Ann Arbor was plagued by a number of injuries to his lower extremities. Despite this, he did manage to average 16.5 points and 5.3 boards per contest during the Wolverines’ 2015-2016 campaign.
