After an offseason of roster turnover for the Michigan men’s basketball team, Austin Davis is doing his part to build up the Wolverines’ chemistry ahead of the upcoming season.
Nobody on the roster has been in Ann Arbor as long as Davis. Now in his fifth year with the program, Davis’ experience has allowed him to emerge as an early de facto leader.
For Davis, leadership goes beyond Crisler Arena. When freshman center Hunter Dickinson made his way to campus over the summer, Davis arranged for a centers-only fishing trip. For a unit that lost its two-year starter to graduation in Jon Teske during the offseason, it was exactly what Davis, Dickinson and senior Jaron Faulds needed.
