Fans swore that his inability to defend and need to clog the lane on offense held back good Michigan basketball teams. When he transferred to Kansas, many expressed sentiments of good riddance. One thing that cannot be denied is that Hunter was a scoring machine while at Michigan.

The New Orleans Pelicans are going to bring in Kansas basketball's Hunter Dickinson after he went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft.

After a standout freshman season at Michigan, Hunter Dickinson looked like he had a good shot at becoming an NBA draft pick. That never materialized, but the former Wolverine will get a shot in the NBA. He agreed to a two-way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
