## Resource

Dallas Mavericks snagged Russian guard Vsevolod Ishchenko at 56th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft—a pick they acquired from the Lakers—turning a late-round selection into a potential hidden gem. Standing 6’8” with a 7’ wingspan, Ishchenko averaged nearly 9 points and 5 rebounds last season in Russia, showing flashes of two-way potential. But don’t expect him to crack the rotation anytime soon—this is a classic “draft-and-stash” move, likely sending him overseas or to the G-League to develop. With four picks total this year—including Morez Johnson Jr., Sergio de Larrea, and Tobi Lawal—the Mavericks’ new front office is clearly prioritizing the draft to build depth, even if it means banking on long-term upside.
