Olivier Nkamhoua announces transfer to Michigan

The decision is in.

Olivier Nkamhoua made the somewhat surprising move to hit the transfer portal following Tennessee’s season. Reports stated that Nkamhoua was looking to make a move a go pro, but perhaps hit the portal just for some insurance. Today, he’s finally made his decision. He’s heading to the place where he was connected to first — Michigan.

Nkamhoua was reportedly down to West Virginia and Baylor this week, but clearly the Wolverines came back and made a late push to land the Finland native. Nkamhoua withdrew his name from the NBA Draft on May 31st after going through the NBA’s G-League Elite camp.

Nkamhoua struck when he stock was the highest, coming off of a 27-point performance against Duke in the round of 32. He averaged 10.8 points per game for Tennessee last season, adding five rebounds. Nkamhoua developed a three-point shot too, shooting 33.3 percent last year.

The 6-8, 229 pounder now moves on to Michigan, where he’ll play for Juwan Howard.

Tennessee will move forward with Jonas Aidoo at center next season. Tobe Awaka will get a huge uptick in minutes after a strong finish to last year. Chris Ledlum, the versatile 6-6 forward from Harvard, will likely have to play a decent amount of minutes at power forward. 6-11 true freshman JP Estrella is likely to find a role in the frontcourt too, purely from a numbers standpoint.
