2. Jett Howard – Freshman Guard – #13

2022-23 stats: 23 GP, 30.5 MIN, 15.0 PPG, 2.2 AST, 1.3 TOV, 2.8 3PM, 39.2 3P%

In his last game against Nebraska on Wednesday, Howard posted 22 points on 6-for-14 shooting from three-point range in 31 minutes of action in the blowout win.

Over his last four games, Howard has averaged 16.8 points on 15-for-35 shooting from three-point range and the Wolverines have won three straight games.

The five-star freshman is looking like one of the college basketball freshmen this season with an opportunity to get selected in the lottery of the 2023 NBA Draft. Howard has logged four 20-point games, including a career-best 34 points against Iowa in a losing effort on January 12.

If the Hoosiers don’t slow down Howard from beyond the arc, Indiana basketball will be in for a long night on Saturday evening in Ann Arbor.
