Sophomore center Hunter Dickinson and fifth-year senior guard Eli Brooks racked up the awards at the Michigan men’s basketball postseason celebration on Wednesday.
Dickinson earned top honors as the Wolverines’ most valuable player after averaging a team-best 18.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game this past season. He’s the fourth player in program history to lead the team in both categories in multiple seasons, joining a list that includes Rudy Tomjanovich, Roy Tarpley and LaVell Blanchard.
An All-Big Ten second-team selection, Dickinson was also named the team’s most improved player and took home the rebounding award after boosting much of his offensive numbers, tallying 594 points — the 23rd best scoring season in program history — and posting 12 games with 10-plus rebounds.
