The 2022-23 Michigan basketball regular season is officially over, but legends can be built in the postseason, if they weren’t built already. In fact, if you look back on the program, most Wolverine legends came to be due to how they performed in the Big Ten Tournament and NCAA Tournament.
So which players were the best to ever wear maize and blue on the hardwood? That can be a contentious argument, given some well-known names wouldn’t be in many fans’ top five. And going even further, if you were to delineate between starters and backups at different positions, would the program’s all-time leading scorer be a backup in that scenario?
Michigan basketball has had many top names come through, from Cazzie Russell to Glen Rice, from the Fab Five to Robert “Tractor” Traylor, from the full cast of the 1989 national championship team, to any who made Final Fours under John Beilein.
Here is who would make our all-time team when it comes to Michigan basketball.
