Height/weight: 6-foot-7, 191 pounds
2015-16 stats: 16.5 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.9 APG
Chad Ford's Top 100 ranking -- No. 41: "The Michigan senior was once projected as a late-lottery to mid-first-round pick. However, injuries his junior and senior year have taken their toll. NBA teams were hoping that LeVert's leg would be healed enough to participate in the combine." More (Insider)
Kevin Pelton's stats and scouting ranking -- No. 24: "Don't read too much into LeVert's big senior year, which mostly came against a relatively weak non-conference schedule before an injury ended his career in Ann Arbor. Even before that, LeVert offered a solid combination of size for the wing, shooting ability and ballhandling." More (Insider)
