Michigan basketball appears to be in a rebuilding mode, losing its top three scorers from last season. The Wolverines are unranked in the preseason AP Top 25 for the first time in four years.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Giving the program one more challenge, coach Juwan Howard has been recovering from heart surgery since mid-September. “He was brave enough and smart enough to know he didn’t feel right,” interim coach Phil Martelli said. “He asked for help and he went to experts and he followed through.” On the court, Michigan will also be missing some familiar faces. Hunter Dickinson, a preseason All-America player, transferred to Kansas.
Michigan took advantage of the transfer portal to add much-needed depth. Olivier Nkamhoua, a two-year starter at Tennessee, has a chance to make an immediate impact. The 6-foot-9 forward, who is from Finland, averaged nearly 11 points and five rebounds as a senior last season. Nimari Burnett, a 6-4 guard, is attending his third school in four years. He started in nine of 27 games last season at Alabama, averaging 5.6 points, after scoring five-plus points per game two years ago for Texas Tech.
