Tim Hardaway Jr. is really good.
Trey Burke is poised beyond his freshman status.
Zack Novak brings more intangibles to the table than any other player in College Basketball.
John Beilein is a masterful coach.
Tim Hardaway Jr.

Chad Ford: Really nice game from Tim Hardaway Jr. Lots of scouts here impressed with him both in game an in practice. P...
