'He shot 90% on dunks': Morez Johnson gets most bizarre stat after Mavs pick Michigan big in NBA Draft originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
"He shot 90% on dunks."
That's what Malika Andrews said about Michigan's Morez Johnson after the Dallas Mavericks picked him with the No. 9 overall pick in Tuesday night's NBA Draft first round.
Wait, is that even good?
It's the weirdest stat we've ever heard in the NBA Draft.
It's also probably not ideal that that's the stat they've got to say to make someone look good.
Johnson is a big-time defender, but his offense leaves something to be desired.

The Mavericks have Cooper Flagg to do most of the forward offensive work, so maybe the pairing makes sense.
And hey, if Johnson can get some dunks off of Flagg's passes, that's great.
But seriously? "He shoots 90% on dunks" is crazy.
The Mavericks will have to hope Johnson is more impressive than that.
