Michigan Wolverines 2025-26 Statistics:

Record: 14-1 (4-1)

Adjusted Offensive Efficiency: 125.4 (7th)

Strength of Schedule: 4th

Michigan Key Players:

G- Elliot Cadeau, Jr. 6’1, 180: 10.2 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 5.2 apg, 45.6% FG, 42.6% 3pt, 67.6% FT

Evanmiya.com Stats: +7.6 BPR (41st nationally)

It didn’t seem like North Carolina fought very hard to keep Cadeau around where he was 13th nationally in assist rate but turned the ball over a lot and didn’t shoot it that well. Both his assist and turnover rates are down a little playing at Michigan and it’s no surprise his 3-pt% has gone way up given how much attention the Michigan big men command from the defense. Coming into the season only about 33% of Cadeau’s shots were from beyond the arc and this season that’s closer to 60% with fewer driving lanes.

G- Nimari Burnett, Sr. 6’5, 195: 8.6 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.2 apg, 47.2% FG, 37.5% 3pt, 82.8% FT

Evanmiya.com Stats: +5.2 BPR (172nd nationally)

There are 3 SG/SF types who each play about half the game but Burnett technically starts so I’m putting him here even though he averages the fewest points per game of the bunch. Burnett though is the best shooter of that group and is 32nd nationally in offensive efficiency since he never turns the ball over and shoots 64% on 2-pointers as well. He’s not a great rebounder or defensive maven though so more of a 3 guy than a 3 and D guy.

F- Yaxel Lendeborg, Sr. 6’9, 240: 14.7 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 3.3 apg, 54.5% FG, 35.4% 3pt, 86.4% FT

Yaxel could’ve been a borderline 1st round pick in last year’s draft but instead is one of the best players in college…
