Morez Johnson Jr., Aday Mara, and Yaxel Lendeborg are all frontcourt transfers to Michigan and they made the difference in handing Nebraska it’s first loss. Nebraska’s roster doesnt have any NBA prospects on our list yet but was ranked 5th and entered the game undefeated. They’re a top tier team coached by Legendary Fred Hoiberg and were a strong test for Michigan’s prospects.
Nebraska shot 32 from 3 point range which is their calling card and had the potential to exploit the main weakness of Michigan’s 7’3″ 255 Mara but he adapted well defensively and made all of his field goals to end up with his exact average of 10 and 7.
Yaxel Lendeborg only managed 3 rebounds and shot poorly. He played good defense and his motor was high as usual so his long-term value wont really move much. If he drops any spots if will be a result of others moving up rather than one game making his draft stock suffer.
Morez Johnson Jr. was the real star for Michigan with 17 and 12 on 83% FG. He’ll see a small bump in his ranking after coming up big in a big matchup.
