The 2025-26 Michigan Wolverines featured three NBA lottery picks:
No. 9 overall pick: Morez Johnson Jr.
No. 11 overall pick: Yaxel Lendeborg
No. 12 overall pick: Aday Mara
Major W today for the Michigan frontcourt.. Yaxel grew quarter of an inch taller from last season
With shoes they were 7’4”+, 6’10”+, 6’10”
All wingspans at least 7’3.5” with aggressive guard play
Not a surprise it was the #1 defense in the country
Nah, Michigan really had the Monstars. They were supposed to win 🤣
- Center was legit 7’4
- PF was 6’10, 250 with a 7’4 wingspan & freak athleticism
- SF was 6’9, 240 w/ 7’3 wingspan as a 3-level scorer
In the kenpom era there’s only one ncaa champion that had a winning percentage > 90% and a top ten strength of schedule.
2026 Michigan (and the strength of schedule was #1)

"Everybody was wondering what they would say if we didn't win. I guess we'll never know!"
