1. Hunter Dickinson – Junior Center – #1

2022-23 stats: 24 GP, 30.8 MIN, 18.0 PPG, 8.5 REB, 1.4 AST, 1.6 BLK, 56.1 FG%, 38.9 3P%

The 7-footer has been improving his play since the new year and is averaging 21.0 points and 10.5 rebounds on 16-for-22 shooting from the field in two straight wins for the Wolverines.

In Dickinson’s last game against Indiana, he posted just 15 points and five rebounds on 7-for-12 shooting in the 2022 Big Ten Tournament. It was a loss for the Wolverines and Dickinson was unable to dominate the Hoosiers as he did during the regular season.

In his lone regular season matchup against Trayce Jackson-Davis and the Hoosiers last season in Bloomington, Dickinson recorded 25 points on 9-for-12 shooting from the field and 3-for-4 from deep in an 80-62 win for Michigan.

It’ll be a big-man showdown in Ann Arbor on Saturday, with Dickinson facing off against Trayce Jackson-Davis. Who’s the best big man in the Big Ten?
