Michael continued to stay aggressive attacking the rim, leveraging his quickness and positional strength when it mattered most. Efficiently scoring with either hand on a drive, he was not wavered by contests throughout this matchup. An elite mid-range shotmaker in his own right, Michael rose up for multiple quick pull-ups, changing speeds on a dime. Meeting opponents at the rim on multiple occasions, the guard is a clear two-way presence, particularly while defending the rim.

Michael will be a player to watch as he is a two-way threat that can make an impact on the game early. He can crash the boards and take it coast-to-coast, being able to stop and pop, elevating over defenders. He will be a player that has his hand in the passing lane and will be a scoring threat throughout the night.

A sturdy guard, Michael brings a smooth game while handling the ball. Particularly effective drawing fouls at the rim, the senior guard is at his best attacking a closeout following the pump fake. If needed to get more creative with the ball, Michael showed flashes of hesitations and spin moves to create space in the paint and mid-range.
