Summary
Dallas Mavericks pull off a draft masterclass: ninth pick Morez Johnson Jr., a towering big man from Michigan coached by new head coach Dusty May, paired with a savvy trade-up for Spanish wing Sergio De Larrea and a late-round gem Tobi Lawal. General Manager Mike Schmitz’s international focus shines with the acquisition of Russian prospect Vsevolod Ishchenko — a defensive-minded shooter and VTB Young Player of the Year — who could become a future Bogdan Bogdanovic-style piece. With Johnson anchoring the paint and De Larrea adding spacing, the Mavs are clearly building a foundation to support Cooper Flagg and reshape the roster for the long haul.
