With the news surfacing on Tuesday that sophomore Franz Wagner is declaring for the NBA draft and hiring an agent, thus culminating his Michigan basketball experience, we have a bit more clarity as to what the rotation could look like going into the 2021-22 season.

While it’s not written in stone — of course, things always change and transfers could come or go — there’s a clear pecking order now as to who will be the starters for the Wolverines this next year as well as who could figure into the rotation.
