21. Juwan Howard, Michigan
Look for Howard’s name to continuously come up as it pertains to coaches who could jump to the NBA ranks. A former NBA All-Star and two-time champion, Howard is revered for his ability to connect with his players and get the best out of his group. He’s already been reportedly considered for some NBA jobs, though he seemingly has no reason to leave his alma mater just yet. Howard has led the Wolverines to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances, and was named AP Coach of the Year following the 2021 season.
