Morez Johnson Jr's Complete Rise at Michigan with Locked On Wolverines⁩

The Dallas Mavericks made one of the most surprising moves of the NBA Draft, selecting Morez Johnson Jr. as a top-10 pick — a player who arrived at Michigan as a bench piece and left as the first player off the board. Could this be the steal of the draft for the Mavs, and what does it mean for Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg's window in Dallas? 

Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) is joined by Isaiah Hole from  ⁨@LockedOnWolverines⁩  to break down Morez Johnson Jr.'s rise from overlooked Illinois transfer to lottery pick, what his defensive versatility — guarding 1 through 5 — truly looks like on the floor, and what Mavs fans are getting in head coach Dusty May. The episode examines comparisons to Al Horford and Bam Adebayo and whether this is the Dallas Mavericks' highest-upside pick in years. Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and the broader NBA roster-building picture also come up as Nick and Isaiah examine how Dusty May's teaching style could develop the next generation of Mavs talent.
