Michigan Wolverines basketball guard L.J. Cason was receiving as much hype as any player on the roster during summer workouts, but like most freshmen, his first season at the college level wasn't smooth sailing all the way through. Cason had a hot start, fell out of the rotation in the middle and made major impacts during the Wolverines' magical postseason run. All of those experiences have set him up for a big sophomore campaign ahead, and he's already hard at work this offseason.
