Summary
The Mavericks just pulled off a steal with the 9th pick, landing Morez Johnson Jr. — a 6-foot-9, 250-pound defensive force with a 7-foot-3 wingspan who can guard anyone. Once considered a mid-tier prospect, Johnson’s rise was fueled by his former coach Dusty May (now the Mavericks’ new head coach) and his own relentless motor. Humble and hungry, Johnson’s defensive versatility and physical tools make him a perfect fit for Dallas’ future, especially with his rapid improvement and championship pedigree. The team’s betting big on his ceiling — and he’s ready to work. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
