6. Abramo Canka – UCLA Bruins

2022-23 season stats: 1.5 ppg and 0.7 rpg

Canka is more of a wing than a two-guard but Michigan needs one of those two so it doesn’t really matter. He was one of the top international prospects to join the 2022 class but was a fairly raw prospect, which helped limit him to just five minutes a game as a freshman.

This is a very athletic slasher to the basket that has legit pro potential but couldn’t get on the court with Jaylen Clark and David Singleton around. He’s the type of flyer that Michigan should consider as the 6’6 Canka could be a diamond in the rough.

5. Kruz Perrott-Hunt – South Dakota Coyotes

2022-23 season stats: 14.3 ppg and 2.2 apg

The 6’3 guard led South Dakota in scoring this past season and is a three-year veteran starter. Perott-Hunt shot a whopping 42% from three-point range, including six different games with four made shots. The senior had a number of big games, including 30 points against Western Illinois on 11/20 shooting from the field.

Perrott-Hunt did struggle against better competition in the non-conference portion of the schedule. But a case can be made that he’ll benefit from not being the No. 1 option on offense for teams to focus on. Plus, his shooting ability should be able to make a good transition to the Big Ten level.
