Aday Mara

Born in Zaragoza, Spain, Mara developed through the Spanish system before joining UCLA, where limited and sporadic minutes across two seasons masked his tools. He transferred to Michigan for 2025-26 and broke out, averaging about 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.6 blocks while setting a school single-season record with 103 blocks and winning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. At 7'3" with a 7'6" wingspan, he anchors the paint, alters shots and shows rare passing feel and soft touch for a true center; his perimeter shooting, foul control and lateral quickness defending in space are the developmental hurdles. Oklahoma City selected him 12th overall, adding a skilled offensive hub and rim protector to a deep, patient frontcourt where he can develop behind established bigs before taking on a larger role.
