## Resource

The Dallas Mavericks stunned the NBA world by drafting Morez Johnson Jr. ninth overall — a bold move pairing him with newly hired coach Dusty May, his former Michigan mentor. Known for his relentless motor, winning mentality, and elite defensive versatility, Johnson brings toughness and rebounding prowess to a team betting big on defense. Though still raw offensively, his ability to guard multiple positions and complement stars like Cooper Flagg makes him a perfect fit for May’s system. This pick signals a defensive-first rebuild — and whether it pays off could reshape the Mavericks’ future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
