Stats: 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 43% FG, 41.8% 3-point

While Michigan may be struggling this season, it’s not at the fault of LeVert, who is having a big year this year and could very likely be cashing it in on a high lottery pick next June.

Taking over as the main guard in a line of successful Michigan guards of recent years (Trey Burke, Nik Stauskas), LeVert has done his best to lead an undersized Michigan team this season. While the Wolverines sit just 9-6 on the year and 2-1 in Big Ten play, LeVert has done everything he could on most night’s when Michigan didn’t hang.

Most notably, LeVert dropped 32 points on New Jersey Institute of Technology, the now infamous game the Wolverines blew. He had 16 points and 6 rebounds in their loss to Villanova, another solid outing. While teammate Zak Irvin also nearly found his way onto this list, the Wolverines lack size and, as a result, will get beaten up during Big Ten play. However, that won’t stop LeVert from giving his all to try drag the maize and blue to victories this year.
