Michigan Wolverines

New updates with Michigan may make them either more or less appealing, as star big man Hunter Dickinson has entered the transfer portal. That leaves incoming top-50 big man Papa Kante, along with forwards, Terrence Williams and Will Tschetter.

While Nkamhoua would’ve been a good fit alongside Dickinson, I could argue that he can have a leading role in the frontcourt and potentially in the Wolverines’ offense overall. Michigan is going to need more transfers looking for larger roles and they already landing one in former Alabama guard, Nimari Burnett. Nkamhoua fits in that category and could be an impact player for the team.

North Carolina Tar Heels

As great a match as former forward Brady Manek was a year ago, transfer Pete Nance didn’t work out as well this past season. The team will likely be looking for a new player at the four-spot, unless they’re extremely high on incoming top-60 freshman, Zayden High.

It’s not hard to be a good fit with Armando Bacot in the frontcourt. And Nkamhoua would certainly handle that position and with Caleb Love gone, there’s more offense to go around. The former Volunteer would have a sizeable role on a team that has potential next season.
