High school career

Freshman (201617)

Dickinson attended DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland. As an entering freshman in 2016, the highly regarded Dickinson stood at 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) and joined a lineup that included Josh Carlton. [8] [9] By April of his freshman season, he had offers from Penn State and Notre Dame as well as interest from many top programs. [10] In June 2017, he was ranked as the number nine prospect in the national class of 2020 and number two Washington metropolitan area prospect (behind number one overall Isaiah Todd) by ESPN. [11]

Sophomore (201718)

By December 2017, Dickinson had grown to 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m). [12] As a sophomore, he helped his team capture its first Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) championship since 2011, on February 26, 2018. Then Dickinson helped DeMatha win the Maryland private-school championship on March 6 against Rock Creek Christian Academy, scoring 31 points in the 6458 victory. [13] Dickinson was named to the first-team All-WCAC alongside teammate Justin Moore. [14] He was a third-team All-Met selection by The Washington Post , joining junior teammate Moore (first team) and fellow sophomore Earl Timberlake (fourth team). [15] Following his sophomore season, he was considered (along with Jeremy Roach) one of the two best players in the DC metro area class of 2020, [16] with USA Today ranking him 18th in the nation. [17]

Junior (201819)

The class of 2020 was the first junior class to benefit from expanded official visit rules (which expanded from five total official college visits to five college visits as a high school junior, five college visits as a high school senior and five college visits as a collegiate transfer. A college can pay for a recruits airfare (or reimburse driving mileage), lodging, meals and game tickets for the athlete and two family members during an official visit). Dickinson visited Purdue in September 2018. [18] As a junior, he was ranked as the number four center in the national class of 2020 by 247Sports, but regarded as more of a versatile center with the ability to stretch the court, making him better suited to high-level competition than centers like DC metro rival Qudus Wahab, who focused on the traditional key/low post inside game skill set for a basketball big man. [19] Although DeMatha was knocked out of the WCAC tournament before the finals by St. John's College High School, they repeated as Maryland private-school champions. Dickinson led the team to three consecutive double-digit victories. He earned tournament MVP and posted 20 points in the 8553 championship-game victory over Rock Creek. [20] In his junior season, Dickinson averaged 17.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. [21] Dickinson repeated as a third-team All-Met selection by The Washington Post, joining senior teammate Moore (first team, player of the year), fellow junior Timberlake (second team) and senior Jahmir Young (honorable mention). [22]

Senior (201920)

By the time he updated his list to Duke, Florida State, Michigan and Notre Dame in October, he was ranked 34th by 247 Sports. [23] Dickinson verbally committed Michigan in early December by calling private a meeting with Howard and assistant coach Phil Martelli on a day when they were in town to scout him at a tournament at DeMatha's home court. Dickinson told Howard that he felt Howard was the best coach to develop Dickinson's game. This was revealed in the press in 2023. [24] He publicly announced his verbal commitment to Michigan with a video posted to Twitter on December 20, at which point he was still ranked 34th overall, and sixth among centers. Todd was among the other verbal commits to Michigan. [25] [26] On January 1, 2020, Dickinson's AAU teammate Terrance Williams (84th overall, 17th power forward) verbally committed to Michigan. [27]

By late January 2020, Dickinson was ranked 37th (behind Timberlake at 31), but he got a chance to go head-to-head against number-one-ranked Evan Mobley and his Rancho Christian team. Dickinson outscored Mobley 2822 and led DeMatha to a 7265 victory at the January 21, 2020 Hoophall Classic. [28] On February 11, 2020, he recorded 40 points, nine rebounds and three blocks in a 71–63 win over St. John's College High School. [29] Dickinson and Timberlake led DeMatha to a 7056 WCAC championship-game victory over the Roach-led Paul VI Catholic High School. [30] [31] Dickinson earned 2020 All-Met Player of the Year and WCAC Player of the Year honors, [32] [33] and was named Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year for his success in basketball and academics, and his exemplary character. [34] He graduated as a three-time first-team All-WCAC selection. [35] Dickinson was invited to play in the 2020 Jordan Brand Classic, [36] which was cancelled due to the Coronavirus. [37] He was joined on the All-Met first team by Roach, Timberlake, Corey Dyches, Trevor Keels, Benny Williams, Avery Ford, Xavier Lipscomb, Ronald Polite and future teammate Terrance Williams. [38] Despite not making a three-pointer in November and December 2019, Dickinson shot 40 percent from three-point range during his senior year. [39] As a senior, Dickinson averaged 18.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, leading his team to a WCAC title. [40]

National team

In April 2019, Dickinson was one of 55 athletes invited to compete for a position on the 12-man United States men's national under-19 basketball team to participate in the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup. [41] That June, he was one of 31 players in Colorado Springs during the camp and selection process. [42] Dickinson had been one of the key class of 2020 targets (along with Jabri Abdur-Rahim) for Michigan head coach John Beilein's staff when Beilein announced he would be departing to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers in May 2019. [43] Juwan Howard was named Michigan head coach on May 22 and made an offer to Dickinson on June 26. The Detroit Free Press reported that Dickinson said Michigan was the most aggressive pursuer of his talents. [44] In July, Dickinson listed the top seven contenders for his services: Purdue, Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Providence. [45] By that August, Dickinson was ranked 30th in the national class of 2020 by 247Sports. [46]

Recruiting

Dickinson was a consensus four-star recruit and ranked as the second-best player from Maryland in the 2020 class (behind Timberlake). [47] On December 20, 2019, he committed to playing college basketball for Michigan over offers from Duke, Florida State and Notre Dame. [39] [48] He said he was drawn by his relationship with head coach Juwan Howard and Michigan's strength and conditioning program. [49]

He joined a Michigan frontline that some thought would return sophomore Colin Castleton and fifth-year Austin Davis (2016 Mr. Basketball of Michigan runner-up). [50] [51] On April 9, however, Castleton (who had lost the role as Jon Teske's backup to Davis) entered the transfer portal, [52] and committed to Florida on April 26. [53] By April 17, when he signed his National Letter of Intent with Michigan, he was ranked 32nd overall and sixth at the center position, according to 247Sports. [54]

In his debut for Michigan on November 25, 2020, Dickinson scored 11 points and had eight rebounds in a 96–82 win against Bowling Green. [55] Dickinson averaged 13.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and one block per game and shot 73.3 percent from the floor (11-for-15) in wins over Ball State and Central Florida. He also recorded his first career double-double with 12 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in the Wolverines' 84–65 win against Ball State. This performance led to him being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the week ending December 6. [56] He then received the honor for a second consecutive week, this time for the week ending December 13, after he averaged 19.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.5 blocked shots per game in wins over Toledo and Penn State. [57] On December 25, Dickinson recorded 13 points and a career-high 15 rebounds, for his second career double-double, in an 80–69 victory against Nebraska. [58] He was subsequently named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the week ending December 27. [59] On December 31, Dickinson recorded a career-high 26 points and 11 rebounds, for his third career double-double in an 84–73 victory against Maryland. [60] Dickinson averaged 22.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in wins over Maryland and then-ranked No. 19/No. 22 Northwestern to help the Wolverines improve to 9–0 on the season. He finished the week shooting 18-for-23 from the field (.782 pct.) and 9-of-12 from the foul line (.750 pct.) for an overall shooting percentage of 78, and was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the week ending January 3, 2021, his fourth Freshman of the Week accolade. [61] He followed this up with a 28-point performance on January 6 against Minnesota. [62] By the time of his fifth Big Ten Freshman of the Week award on January 11 for the week ending January 10, Michigan had a 100 record and Dickinson ranked first among all power conferences players with a .730 field goal percentage and third among all NCAA men's freshman with 18.0 points per game. [63]

After winning 5 of the first 7 awards, Dickinson did not win Freshman of the Week again until Feburary 15 when he posted 11 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks against #21-ranked Wisconsin on February 14, which was Michigan's first 10+-point/15+-rebound/5+ block game since Courtney Sims on February 7, 2004 over 17 years earlier for the 2003–04 Wolverines. [64] The following week Dickinson averaged 16.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game as Michigan defeated Rutgers February 18, 2021 and then defeated #4-ranked Ohio State on February 21, 2021. The Ohio State win was Michigan's first rivalry win at Columbus in 7 years. His seven Big Ten Freshman of the week awards was second in conference history to Jared Sullinger. [65] The 2020–21 Wolverines finished as the 2020–21 Big Ten regular season champions. In the clinching game on March 4, Michigan defeated Michigan State 69–50 in a rivalry game with 14 points and 10 rebounds from Dickinson for his fifth career double-double. [66] [67] They earned a number 1 seed in the 2021 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. They reached the Elite Eight, where they lost to #11 seed UCLA 51-49, ending their season. [68] [69] Dickinson scored in double digits in all four of Michigan's games in the tournament. [70] [71] [72] [68]

For the season, Dickinson led Michigan in scoring (14.1), rebounding (7.4), double-doubles (5), and 10+ rebounding games (5). Following an outstanding season, Dickinson was named first-team All-Big Ten by the media, second-team All-Big Ten by the coaches (along with Isaiah Livers and Wagner), a Big Ten All-Freshman honoree (along with Andre Curbelo, Keegan Murray, Zach Edey, and Jaden Ivey) and the Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Year. His All-Freshman recognition, marked Michigan's third straight season with such an honoree, joining Ignas Brazdeikis (2019) and Franz Wagner (2020). [73] [74] Eventually, Michigan would have 5 straight seasons with a Big Ten All-Freshman selection when Moussa Diabaté and Jett Howard would follow Dickinson. [75] He was also named a consensus second-team All-American, becoming Michigan's first consensus All-American since Nik Stauskas in 2014 and 13th all time. [76] [77] Dickinson declared himself eligible for the 2021 NBA draft on May 26. [78] As of June 14, he was not projected to be drafted. [79] As the July 7 deadline approached, he was not listed above the mid second round by anyone, and on July 6, he declared his intent to return to Michigan. [80] [81]

Sophomore season

Dickinson and incoming freshman Caleb Houstan were named Preseason All-Big Ten honorees, marking the third time in school history (Juwan Howard/Jalen Rose (1993-94) and Mitch McGary/Glenn Robinson III (2013-14)) that Michigan had two Preseason All-Big Ten selectees. Dickinson was one of five unanimous Preseason All-Big Ten selections (along with Conference Preseason Player of the Year Kofi Cockburn, Trayce Jackson-Davis, E.J. Liddell and Jaden Ivey). [82] As a sophomore, Dickinson earned Big Ten Conference Player of the Week for the week ending January 23, 2022 for his play against Maryland and Indiana when he averaged 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.0 points, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block. [83] He posted a career-high 33 points in the rivalry game against Michigan State for interim coach Phil Martelli in an 8770 victory on March 1. [84] Following the regular season, Dickinson was named to the second-team All-Big Ten by both the coaches and the media as well as the All-Defensive Team. [85]

During the 2022 NCAA tournament Michigan received an at-large bid as the number 11 seed in the South Region. [86] On March 17, Michigan defeated number six seed (No. 24 AP Poll) Colorado State 75–63 behind Dickinson's game-high 21 points, six rebounds and four blocks. [87] On March 19, Michigan defeated number three seed (No. 5 /No. 8) Tennessee 76–68 in the second round. Michigan was led by Dickinson with 27 points, including 3-of-5 on three-point field goals, 11 rebounds, four assists, a block and a steal. With the win, the Wolverines advanced to the Sweet Sixteen for the fifth consecutive tournament. [88] [89] On March 24, Michigan lost to (No. 6/No. 5) Villanova 55–63 in the Sweet Sixteen despite 15 points, 15 rebounds, three assists and two blocks from Dickinson. [90]

Dickinson earned Academic All-Big Ten Team recognition as well as CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition for his 3.32 GPA, making him one of three Big Ten basketball players among the 40 finalist for the 15-man Academic All-America team. [91] [92] [93] For the season, Dickinson averaged 18.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists, [94] repeating as the team leader in scoring and rebounding, [95] He became the fourth Wolverine to lead the team in both of those categories multiple times. [96] Following the first season after NCAA v. Alston enabled college and pre-college athletes to earn significant Student athlete compensation, known as name, image and likeness compensation (NIL), without losing athletic scholarship eligibility, he announced he would return for another season in April. [97] [98] For Dickinson, NIL impacted his life as he had 8 to 10 partnership arrangements before the basketball season started in 2021. [99] His experience with NIL contributed to his return. [97] [98]

Junior season

Dickinson entered the season as one of three unanimous Preseason All-Big Ten selection (along with Preseason Conference Player of the Year Jackson-Davis and Zach Edey). [100] On November 8, 2022, in a 75–56 victory over Purdue Fort Wayne, Dickinson recorded a game-high 22 points and 12 rebounds, for his 18th career double-double. Dickinson reached 1,000 career points on a free throw with 3:43 remaining in the first half, becoming the 57th Wolverine to reach the milestone. [101] That week, he earned Big Ten Player of the Week, averaging 26.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocked shots. [102] On November 16, in a 91–60 victory over Pittsburgh in the semifinals of the Legends Classic, Dickinson recorded 11 points and seven rebounds. With seven rebounds, Dickinson became the 46th Wolverine to reach the 500-rebound milestone, and the 31st member of Michigan's 1,000-point/500-rebound club. [103] On January 1, Dickinson posted his third career 30-point game with a 32-point/12-rebound effort against Maryland, [104] which contributed to him being named Big Ten Player of the week on January 3. [105] On February 26, Dickinson scored a buzzer-beating three-point shot to force overtime in an 87–79 victory over Wisconsin. [106] [107] On March 2, Dickinson scored 31 points and a career high 16 rebounds in an 87–91 double-overtime loss to Illinois; he ended the game with 1,529 career points, becoming the 22nd Wolverine to reach the 1,500-point milestone, and surpassing head coach Juwan Howard (1,526) for 20th on Michigan's all-time scoring list. [108] On March 5, Dickinson scored 24 points and 14 rebounds in a 73–75 overtime loss to Indiana. With 14 rebounds, Dickinson became the ninth Wolverine to surpass the 750-rebound mark, and the sixth to do so while also scoring 1,500 points. [109]

Following the regular season, Dickinson earned All-Big Ten first team recognition from the media and second team recognition from the coaches, along with Michigan's third team selections Kobe Bufkin and Jett Howard. [110] [111] He was an Associated Press honorable mention 2023 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans. [112] On March 18, during the second round of the 2023 National Invitation Tournament, Dickinson recorded 21 points and 11 rebounds, for his 31st career double-double, tied with Loy Vaught for sixth most all time in Michigan program history. [113] Dickinson repeated as an Academic All-Big Ten Team selectee; [114] eligibility had been revamped in 2022 by the renamed College Sports Communicators, requiring a 3.5 GPA (previously 3.3). [115] For the season, Dickinson averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. For his Michigan career, he averaged 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks and shot 57% from the field in 94 games. [94] Dickinson led the team in scoring and rebounding for a third season. [95]

On March 31, Dickinson announced he was entering the NCAA transfer portal. [116] His stated intention at the time was to graduate from Michigan following the Summer 2023 semester. [117] Dickinson's departure would make way for returning sophomore Tarris Reed. [95] However, playing time was not believed to be the reason for his departure. Michigan's failure to make the 2023 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, and its dim championship prospects, was one speculated reason. Another was the likelihood that he could procure a superior Name, image and likeness compensation package, despite his endorsements with Lowe's, Ritz Crackers, and Outback Steakhouse. [24] In a May 2023 episode of a podcast he co-hosts with Barstool Sports' Marty Mush and Jordan Bohannon, Dickinson said that he made less than $100 thousand ($107.4 thousand in 2024 assuming deals were negotiated in 2022 dollars) for the 2022–23 NCAA basketball season and that the Wolverines were unwilling to guarantee him an acceptable higher number. [118] Dickinson' 2022–23 market value had been estimated to be $868 thousand ($932.7 thousand in 2024) and $1700 ($1826.6  in 2024) per social media post. [119] The 2022-23 National Basketball Association (NBA) Two-way contract value was $502 thousand ($539.4 thousand in 2024), which was half of the rookie minimum salary, $1.004 million ($1.08 million in 2024). [120]

Dickinson was regarded as the top rated men's basketball player (ahead of Max Abmas and Kel'el Ware) in the portal in 2023. He had offers from many schools, including Kansas, Villanova, Kentucky, Maryland and Georgetown. [121] [122] His high school coach, Mike Jones, had become an assistant coach at Maryland. [123] Dickinson took unofficial visits to his hometown programs Maryland and Georgetown who both had changed head coaches since his high school recruitment. He described the visits as having been scheduled in the "spur-of-the-moment" since he was going home and deciding about transferring. [124] Then he visited Kansas, [125] in addition to Kentucky and Villanova, before making his final decision to leave Michigan on May 3. [126]

Kansas

Senior season

Dickinson committed to Kansas on May 4, 2023. [94] [123] The 2023–24 Jayhawks began the season as the number-one-ranked team in the country. [127] Dickinson was first player to be named both the Big 12 Conference Preseason Player of the Year and Preseason Newcomer of the Year. [128] He was also named to the Associated Press preseason All-American team. [129] Dickinson got off to a fast start at Kansas, earning Big 12 Newcomer of the week on November 13, for averaging 19.5 points and 8.0 rebounds in his first two games. [130] On November 14, 2023, Dickinson took advantage of a Kentucky Wildcats lineup that was without 7 foot (2.1 metres) big men Aaron Bradshaw, Ugonna Onyenso and Zvonimir Ivišić. He posted 27 points and 21 rebounds. [131] [132] He was the first Big 12 Player to accumulate 25+ points and 20+ rebounds in a game against a ranked opponent since Blake Griffin on November 18, 2008 for Oklahoma vs. No. 21 Davidson, and the first Kansas player with such a game since Thomas Robinson on December 31, 2011 for the 2011–12 Jayhawks vs. North Dakota. The performance earned him both Big 12 Player of the Week and Big 12 Newcomer of the week recognition as well as Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week selection from the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA). [133] [134]

In Kansas' 2023–24 Big 12 Conference men's basketball season January 8 conference opener against TCU, Dickinson posted 30 points and 11 rebounds, including game-tying free throws with 57 seconds left and the game-winning basket with 3.4 seconds left. The game marked his 40th career double-double and stretched his double-digit rebound streak to a career-high 6 games. [135] [136] On February 5, Dickinson earned a third Big 12 Player of the Week award, when he collected his 2000th point as he helped Kansas defeat Oklahoma State and No. four Houston with averages of 18 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists points for the week. He became the third active player with 1000 career rebounds and 2000 career points, again earning Player of the Week recognition from the USBWA. [137] [138] Dickinson finished the season as the conference's leading rebounder (10.84 overall, 9.61 conference games), its leading scorer in conference games (17.56 ), and its second-leading scorer overall (17.97). He earned Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, and All-Big 12 First Team recognition. [139] Dickinson was a consensus second-team All-American selection, becaming the 17th consensus All-American for Bill Self as coach at Kansas, marking the school's third consecutive season with such a recognition (Ochai Agbaji in 2022 and Jalen Wilson in 2023). [140] He was the first men's basketball player to earn All-American recognition at two different schools. [141] Kansas entered the 2024 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament with a four seed. In the first round, they defeated Samford behind 19 points and 20 rebounds from Dickinson. [142] They were eliminated in the second round by number five seed Gonzaga despite 15 points by Dickinson. [143]

On April 26, Dickinson announced that he would return to Kansas for a final season. [144] Although Kansas was not the school that had offered him the highest NIL compensation package during his transfer recruitement, his 2023–24 earnings were estimated at $586,000 (including Wendy's and Adidas sponsorships as well as a University of Kansas affiliate collective) according to a Fansided report. [145]

Fifth-year season

When the NCAA Division I Council extended athletic eligibility for all spring-sport student-athletes an additional season of competition, it gave Dickinson a year of eligibility in place of the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. [146] The 2024–25 Jayhawks were again the preseason number one-ranked-team in the country. [147] It marked the fifth time in school history that the team began the season ranked number one. [148] Dickinson repeated as Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year. [149] He also repeated as an Associated Press preseason All-American, with ESPN naming him the fourth-highest rated player in college basketball in the preseason. [150]

Dickinson had several great performances in his fifth year. He again opened the season as Big 12 Player of the week, with a 20-point/10-rebound effort, including the final three points of the game, in a 9289 victory over ninth-ranked North Carolina on November 8. [151] [152] Four days later, he posted his 50th career double-double with 28 points and 12 rebounds in a Champions Classic victory over Michigan State; the performance helped lead to a back-to-back Big 12 Player of the Week recognition on November 18. [153] On November 26, 2024, Dickinson was ejected from a game against Duke after kicking Maliq Brown in the face. [154] [155] On December 14, Dickinson posted 21 points, 14 rebounds, a career-high eight assists and zero turnovers in a 7560 victory over NC State. No Division I player has posted those three stats without turnovers since at least the 1996–97 NCAA basketball season. Dickinson also had two steals and a blocked shot in the game. The effort earned him another Big 12 Player of the Week selection. [156] [157] [158] In a February 24 victory against Colorado, Dickinson posted 32 points on 13for18 shooting to establish a personal best as a Jayhawk. [159] [160] In the March 8 regular-season finale, Dickinson matched his career high with 33 points in an 8376 victory against 24th-ranked Arizona, [161] marking his fifth double-double in the final six regular-season games.

Dickinson earned first-team All-Big 12 recognition at the end of the regular season as he stood fourth in the conference in scoring (17.4) and second in rebounding (9.9). [162] [163] After the 2025 Big 12 men's basketball tournament, Dickinson earned 2025 third team All-American recognition from the Associated Press and United States Basketball Writers Association. [164] [165] In addition to recognition from official selectors, Dickinson was a third-team All-American choice by Bleacher Report. [166] Dickinson finished his career with eleven points and nine rebounds when Kansas' season ended in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament against tenth-seeded Arkansas. [167]

Professional career

On June 27, 2025 after going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, Dickinson signed a two-way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans. [168] Dickinson found himself battling Karlo Matkovic for playing time behind Kevon Looney. [169] Prior to opening night, both were injured, leaving Dickinson, Yves Missi and Derik Queen as options at center. [170] [171] Missi was injured during the game, [172] and Dickinson debuted for the Pelicans in the October 22 opener against the Memphis Grizzlies with his first basket. [173] On November 7, he made his NBA G League debut with an 11-point, 10-rebound, 5-assist effort in the season opener for the Birmingham Squadron against the Austin Spurs. [174]
