Juwan Howard had multiple player achievements to celebrate after Michigan’s first win of the year. Not only did Hunter Dickinson reach a big career milestone, but his son Jett also played very well in his debut.

Jett scored 21 points in the victory over Purdue Fort Wayne. Jett committed to Michigan as a 4-star SF out of IMG Academy from the 2022 class per the 247Sports Composite.

Juwan was proud of how his son played, and knows that this is just the beginning. It looks like the Michigan coach was in a joking mood.

“The young fella, he’s a freshman, and he’s making a name for himself because he put in the work,” Juwan said. “He’s blossoming. But he still has so much room to grow. He’s delivering for us, and we’re going to need him this season.”

We’ll see if the sky is truly the limit for Jett. Michigan plays Eastern Michigan on Nov. 11 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPNU in its second game of the season.
