Houstan averaged 10.1 points on 38.4 percent shooting (35.5 percent from three) and 4.0 rebounds in his lone season at Michigan. He was a consensus 5-star recruit ranked in the top seven of ESPN's, Rivals' and 247Sports' rankings.
The high point of the 19-year-old's season came in late February, when he scored 21 points in back-to-back games against Rutgers and Illinois.
Houstan also had a big game in Michigan's first-round men's NCAA tournament win against Colorado State, hitting back-to-back three-pointers en route to a 75-63 win.
The No. 11 seed Wolverines then upset No. 3 seed Tennessee before falling to No. 2 seed Villanova in the Sweet Sixteen.
The Canadian was just one of two Wolverines who started all 32 games for Michigan last season alongside Eli Brooks.
Now Houstan is moving on to the pros, where he'll look to carve out a successful start to his career in Orlando.
