Trey McKenney could shift Michigan Basketball's offensive approach
Summary

Michigan Basketball, under new coach Mike Boynton Jr., may overhaul its offensive strategy, favoring mid-range shots. Trey McKenney, who averaged 1.30 points per mid-range attempt last season, could lead this change as he develops. The Wolverines have predominantly focused on layups and three-pointers in recent years, but McKenney's efficiency may prompt a shift. As Michigan integrates new assets like Tennessee transfer J.P. Estrella and Cincinnati transfer Mousthapha Thiam, their shooting must improve to create opportunities for mid-range scoring. The team will seek better three-point production to facilitate this transition during the season ahead.
