## Resource

Morez Johnson Jr. is officially an NBA player, drafted ninth overall by the Dallas Mavericks and reunited with his college coach Dusty May — who jokingly calls him his “favorite,” but Johnson knows that won’t earn him any special treatment. He’s embracing his role as a professional, every-day guy focused on teamwork and leading by example, while leveraging his familiarity with May’s demanding, honest coaching style to accelerate his pro transition. Johnson sees himself as a versatile, relentless competitor — even coining the term “junkyard dog” to describe his work ethic — and is eager to expand his shooting range and showcase his underrated ball-handling. With a defensive edge and fit for a team building around versatility alongside Cooper Flagg, Johnson is ready to prove he’s got more to give, even if it means earning his minutes the hard way.
