Michigan basketball analyst omits Malik Hall from top players list

A Michigan basketball analyst isn’t too fond of Malik Hall:

Malik Hall has been a key cog of Michigan State’s basketball program over the past four seasons, and the Spartans got a huge boost when the veteran decided to come back for one more fifth and final year in 2023-24.

Former Michigan basketball player, and current analyst, Ant Wright has been very involved in the Big Ten basketball scene on Twitter. In his latest edition, Wright ranked the top five power forwards in the conference. The list consisted of new Michigan PF, Tennessee transfer Oliver Nkamhoua in the top spot followed by Coleman Hawkins (Illinois), Dawson Garcia (Minnesota), Tyler Wahl (Wisconsin) and Donta Scott (Maryland), leaving Hall off of the list.
