Michigan Alum Turned NBA Sharpshooter with Untapped Upside
Jett Howard, ex-Michigan Wolverines guard, is thriving in the 2025-26 NBA season with the Orlando Magic, averaging 5.5 PPG, 1.6 RPG, and 0.8 APG on 41.8% FG while exploding for a career-high 30 points (13-of-27 from deep) against the Celtics.[1][3][4] His elite shooting volume and versatility as a small forward make him a hidden gem from college drafts, praised for high ceiling despite limited minutes.[5][6] No major injury history; his clutch intensity and smooth stroke scream bench spark plug—perfect fit for teams needing instant offense off the pine. Why care? He's on the cusp of rotation stardom.[1][2]
