Sanders plays in the same state that his dad starred in, and wears the same number.
Sanders attended high school at Birmingham Detroit Country Day School before walking on at Michigan State. The Spartans have several talented guards who returned for 2022, so it is unclear how much action Sanders will see.
Regardless, seeing a “Sanders” wearing No. 20 is a cool scene for sports fans in Michigan.
