Summary
The Warriors are eyeing Michigan’s Morez Johnson Jr. as a potential first-round pick in the NBA Draft — a six-foot-ten defensive anchor with elite motor and versatility, averaging 13 points and 7 rebounds for Michigan. Scouts compare him to Isaiah Stewart and Clint Capela, and his youth (under 21) makes him a long-term asset. With Charles Bassey already on board, the Warriors face a key decision: veteran impact now or developmental upside later — and Johnson’s relentless work ethic and defensive versatility make him a compelling choice.
