The Mavs Drafted the WRONG Michigan Man?! Morez Johnson Jr vs Aday Mara vs Yaxel Lendeborg?

Adai Mara and Yaksa Lindenburg, both Morris Johnson Jr.'s teammates at Michigan, Dusty Mays, players at Michigan are taking the NBA by storm in NBA preseason.

They've looked so good.

Adai Mara has played four games already.

He scored a total of 61 points, 29 boards, 12 assists, 11 blocks in four games, averaging 15, 7, 3, and 3 basically.

He is looking like an incredible player, an incredible pick by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It's so annoying how good he's [laughs] looked for them so far.

Uh, Rylan Stiles from Locked On Thunder Daily has said he's 100% confident that Mara will have a role on the Thunder.

The Thunder, the team that ha- as one of the deepest teams in the NBA, th- this guy has come in and already he will have a role for him.

He talks about his, you know, his, the, the offense that he, that they've been able to run through him a little bit.

His passing has been really good, the three assists a game we mentioned.

His high post play-making, that was a thing with him and Rez during college as well.

He's been grabbing a bunch of lobs.

And he has really stepped up his game when it comes to conditioning and all that kind of stuff.

Keeping him on the floor in college was a problem.

He was only averaging, like, 23 minutes a game.

Dusty May had an issue keeping him on the floor at times, and he's really worked on that area.

Rylan's also talked about him guarding W- Victor Wembanyama and said that that is a viable option that the, that the Thunder will look at and will definitely try to put Mara on Victor Wembanyama.

So Mara has come up and made a huge impact already in this Thunder team already.

Yaksa Lindenburg for the Warriors, a team that doesn't have a ton going for them right now.

He's played four games already, averaging 15 points, eight boards, uh, almost two stocks a game.

Only five turnovers in four games.

Shooting 55% from the field, 38% from three.

Like, Chuck Walter from Locked On Warriors said that he's the rookie of the year contender, and he should be, that he should start for this Warriors team and could be the face of the franchise going forward.

Yaksa Lindenburg has looked really good so far in the NBA, and he should.

He's a little bit older than these other two guys, and definitely older than, than Rez.
