Forward Morez Johnson Jr. was selected No. 9 overall by the Dallas Mavericks. Johnson will reunite with Michigan head coach Dusty May, who took the Mavericks a day before the draft.
All three players are in solid situations heading into their rookie campaigns. Johnson has familiarity in May’s scheme, Lendeborg will be on a team with future Hall of Famers in Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler, while Aday Mara joins a Thunder squad just a season removed from an NBA championship. Johnson could receive the most minutes of the bunch, with Lendeborg and Mara being more rotational pieces in their rookie campaign.
