Why the Dallas Mavericks TRADED UP for Sergio De De Larrea | 2026 NBA Draft Reactions

The Dallas Mavericks made a dramatic last-second move on NBA Draft night, trading up to select international guard Sergio De Larrea with the 25th pick — a versatile, 6'6" shooter with a 6'9" wingspan who spent two seasons in Spain's ACB League alongside elite competition. With Cooper Flagg and Morez Johnson Jr. already locked in, the Mavs are building a roster around positional size, and Sergio De Larrea could be the final piece of a dynamic young core alongside Kyrie Irving and the rest of the Dallas Mavericks.

Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris break down everything from the Mavs' chaotic draft night, the Sergio De La Rea pick, his shooting ability, playmaking vision, and comparisons to players like Ty Jerome and Grayson Allen, and whether he'll come over to the NBA this season. The guys also discuss how Mavs GM Mike Schmitz approached the draft and react to the rest of the 2026 NBA Draft.
