Mentioned in this video
Morez Johnson Jr. revealed his NBA superpower at his Dallas Mavericks press conference, and it could reshape the entire team's defensive identity alongside Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and the Mavs heading into the new NBA season. From his guard-like switchability to an untapped offensive game he never needed to show at Michigan, Morez Johnson Jr. may be the most underrated pick in this year's NBA Draft.
Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris break down everything Morez Johnson Jr. said at his Dallas Mavericks press conference, including his defensive comparisons to Al Horford and Bam Adebayo, his chemistry with the Michigan trio, and why Dallas may have found a culture-setting cornerstone. The hosts also discuss how Morez could fit alongside Dereck Lively II, touch on sightings of Daniel Gafford and Naji Marshall at the practice facility, and share behind-the-scenes moments from GM Mike Schmitz including the correct pronunciation of Vsevolod Ishchenko's name. Plus, what does Dusty May's connection to Morez mean for his development — and is the Bam Adebayo ceiling actually within reach?
