Michigan’s 7-foot-3 rim wall who turned a transfer gamble into a title-season weapon
In the 2025-26 season, Aday Mara became one of Michigan’s most disruptive bigs, putting up around 12 points, 7 rebounds and more than 2.5 blocks per game while emerging as a high-impact rim protector and efficient interior finisher. What makes him pop is the combination of elite size, soft touch, improved free-throw and perimeter confidence, and the kind of defensive presence that changes scouting plans. The knock is foul trouble and only one year of major production, but if your team needs a mobile, high-ceiling center who can erase mistakes at the rim, he’s a very good fit.
