Episode notes
INSIGHT

Cadeau Is Creation First, Efficiency Next

  • Elliot Cadeau brings high creation even if his shooting and turnovers worry the offense early on.
  • His drives and floaters can exploit Michigan's size if he cuts down turnovers and learns teammates' tendencies.
ADVICE

Manage Cadeau's Role Early

  • Give Cadeau time to develop and simplify early-season roles to reduce turnovers.
  • Let him operate as primary creator while using catch-and-shoot spacers to absorb shot volume.
INSIGHT

Size And Rebounding Are The Core Edge

  • Michigan's biggest structural advantage this year is overwhelming size and offensive rebounding.
  • That size forces opponents into uncomfortable matchups and gives Michigan strategic flexibility.
