The 2026 NBA Draft Combine wrapped up in Chicago with Michigan's frontcourt trio drawing significant attention from scouts. Aday Mara, Morez Johnson Jr. and Yaxel Lendeborg posted strong measurements and impressed in interviews. Several other prospects also saw their draft stock rise or fall based on performances during the week.
Michigan center Aday Mara, forward Morez Johnson Jr. and jumbo wing Yaxel Lendeborg all posted impressive measurables at the event. Scouts noted Mara's size and mobility, while Johnson measured at 6-foot-9 without shoes with a 7-foot-3.5 wingspan. Lendeborg eased concerns about maturity through positive team interviews, according to league sources. The three players from the reigning national champions now have a legitimate chance to become lottery picks in June.
