## Resource

Dallas Mavericks shock with late-draft steal: Tobi Lawal, a ferocious athlete and defensive force from Virginia Tech, leaps into the mix at 48—tying him to their athletic, gritty rebuild. With a jaw-dropping 40+ inch vertical (second-highest ever), Lawal brings explosive energy, solid production (12 PPG, 8 RPG, 1 BPG), and elite versatility on defense. Paired with Morez Johnson Jr., he fits perfectly under new coach Dusty May’s championship-caliber defensive blueprint. The Mavericks are building a hungry, coachable core—led by Cooper Flagg—to turn grit into glory. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
