Morez Johnson Jr. Reunites With Dusty May in Dallas
The Dallas Mavericks are selecting Michigan forward/center Morez Johnson Jr. with the No. 9 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The 20-year-old gives Dallas an efficient frontcourt piece after averaging 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 0.7 steals in 25.1 minutes across 40 appearances for Michigan. Johnson shot 62.3 percent from the field, giving him a fantasy-friendly base if his rebounding and defensive activity translate quickly. Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford are already on the Mavericks roster, so Johnson may need to earn minutes gradually, but the Dusty May connection makes his early role worth watching.
