MICHIGAN IN THE PROS
LeVert won't be able to play in NBA
Summer League games due to his
injury, but he told reporters his X-rays
and CT scans show he's completely
healed. He met with Brooklyn officials
several weeks before the draft.
"I'm just trying to do whatever it
takes," he said. "Next year as a rookie
… I know rookies have a tougher role
on the team, but I'm ready to fulfill
whatever role the team needs me to
do. And then for the long haul just
get better, be one of the guys for the
team.
"I'm not really sure what type of
role I'll have. Right now it's still early.
But whatever role they give to me, I'll
be ready to fulfill that role." ❏
LeVert was drafted in the first round by the Indiana Pacers at No. 20 overall, and then they
sent him to the Brooklyn Nets to complete an earlier trade.
