## Resource

The Dallas Mavericks just pulled off a blockbuster move, drafting 20-year-old power forward Morez Johnson Jr. with the ninth overall pick. Standing 6’9” and packing 250 pounds, Johnson dominated college basketball with Michigan, helping them win their first national title in 37 years. Now, he’s set to reunite with coach Dusty May in Dallas — a perfect fit for a young roster already led by Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg. Johnson’s physicality, scoring prowess, and relentless energy make him an instant NBA-ready asset, and he’s already buzzing about joining the “Michigan Mavericks.” Expect him to shine in Summer League and slot into a system built around Flagg’s playmaking — a potential cornerstone for the Mavericks’ future.
