Tiktukno: Summary of today's events in sports, 3.4/Sport1
Just less than a year ago, Danny Wolf was still struggling with the question of whether he was really interested in a career as a basketball player. But a fantastic individual performance in the reserve team uniform at the European Championships provided the starting shot for a breakout year for him, which ended earlier this month with Yale's elimination from the college tournament.
Now, after the impressive season in the Ivy League, Wolf is moving to a higher university - with the aim of fulfilling the dream of being selected in the NBA draft and even playing in the best league in the world. After a number of top universities in the basketball world inquired about him, the opportunity fell on Michigan - which will be coached starting next season by coach Dusty May, who followed Wolf closely this season.
May has already met with Wolf in order to recruit him to the Wolverines, and today (Saturday) the move became official. Wolff's transition will undoubtedly make life easier for him when it comes to the NBA dream: Michigan, a university with a rich past, is known as one of the most prominent exporters of players to the best league in the world, with 14 players from the university currently playing in the NBA, including players like Jordan Paul, Duncan Robinson, Franz Wagner, and Chris Levert. In the last draft, two Michigan players were selected in the first round.
The 19-year-old Wolf, 2.10 meters, finished the season with averages of 14.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He is a candidate to wear the uniform of the Israeli national team this summer as well, and may rejoin Noam Yaakov in the reserve team in an attempt to take another step forward after the previous summer they were led to the runners-up of the European Championship.
