Novak was named the NW Indiana Times Player of the Year. Former winners of the award include Luke Harangody and E’twaun Moore. Memphis 5 star commit Angel Garcia did not make the team.
“You just want to prove (skeptics) wrong,” Novak said. “That made it easier. I was up against the wall, in recruiting terms. It got to the point where I really had nothing to lose. I prepared really hard to make something happen. I was just worried about winning games and if I was playing well, I knew things would take care of themselves. It worked out perfect in the end.”
Hopefully Novak keeps playing with a chip on his shoulder at Michigan because I really think he can be a great player here. Check out the article for some more good quotes.
