Mavericks Rookies Shine in Summer League | NBA News

The Dallas Mavericks just drafted four new players, led by top pick Morez Johnson Jr., a Michigan forward whom new coach Dusty May knows well from their college days. As the team gears up for the NBA Summer League in Vegas, these rookies — including second-round picks Tobi Lawal and Vsevolod Ishchenko — have a chance to prove themselves before the regular season. With games against the Warriors, Lakers, Grizzlies, and Thunder, Johnson and May may even face former Michigan teammates. Ryan Nembhard will also be there, though likely with limited minutes after international play. The four draft picks are expected to shine, and others like AJ Johnson, Tyler Smith, and John Poulakidas could seize their moment to earn roster spots.
