Dallas just keeps getting more athletic at the 2026 NBA Draft.

The Mavericks should've tried to make a run at this player to reunite Cooper Flagg with his college teammate from Duke.

Sergio De Larrea adds a wrinkle to Dallas' backcourt that they desperately needed.

The Dallas Mavericks traded up in the first round to acquire another Sergio De Larrea, and this could put them out of position to re-sign a fan-favorite guard.

This player would be a perfect prospect for Dallas to target in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft.

The Dallas Mavericks sold low on Anthony Davis, but the trade looks even better after they snatched up the perfect draft prospect using that No. 30 pick.

One of the Mavericks' biggest flaws from last season was erased by drafting Sergio De Larrea.

Morez Johnson Jr. is an interesting pick for the Dallas Mavericks, as he doesn't project as a perfect fit with Cooper Flagg.

The Dallas Mavericks took Morez Johnson Jr. at No. 9, but he wasn't the best player available nor the best fit.

Dallas' Sergio De Larrea pick will fix one of the team's biggest weaknesses that the Morez Johnson Jr. selection didn't address.
