Johnson Jr. Shines in Summer League | Dallas Mavericks News
Description
Dallas Mavericks’ gamble on Morez Johnson Jr. at No. 9 in the 2026 NBA Draft is paying off fast—Summer League highlights show a rare blend of elite offense and defense. He’s hitting 75% of his shots inside the arc while making smart passes, and his defensive impact is staggering: six blocks and five steals in just two games. His length and quickness disrupt everything, but he’ll need to dial back the aggression and improve his three-point shot to reach his ceiling. If this is just the start, Johnson could be the biggest surprise of the 2026 draft class.
