Will Tschetter, a former Michigan basketball standout, has officially joined the Portland Trail Blazers for the NBA Summer League, marking the next step in his professional career after a five‑year run with the Wolverines.
During his lone season abroad in Australia, Tschetter posted eye‑catching numbers, averaging 28.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, a stark contrast to his modest 3.5 points and 1.9 rebounds per game at Michigan.
A Brotherhood in Transition
He will be one of six former Michigan players scattered across NBA summer‑league rosters, a testament to the program’s recent surge that saw the team climb from the bottom of the Big Ten to a national championship contender.
Tschetter’s college journey was anything but ordinary; he experienced the full arc of Michigan basketball, from the program’s lowest ebb to its highest peak, shaping him into a more resilient and versatile player.
The Blazers open their summer‑league schedule on Friday, July 10, facing the Phoenix Suns at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, where Tschetter hopes to translate his overseas success into a summer‑league breakthrough.
