## Resource

The Dallas Mavericks made one of the most talked-about picks of the 2025 NBA Draft, selecting Morez Johnson Jr. with the ninth overall pick as the Mavs look to build a championship roster around Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving. With elite defensive versatility, a motor that never stops, and NBA comps ranging from Bam Adebayo to Al Horford, Morez Johnson could be the culture-defining piece the Mavs need heading into the Masai Ujiri era.
