Path To the Pick | Mavs Draft Preview | EP 3 Competitive Fire | 5/26/26

On this episode of Path to the Pick, Dana Larson and Mark Followill discuss the mutual decision between the Mavericks and Jason Kidd to part ways. The show then shifts when the Mavericks’ new General Manager Mike Schmitz sits down to talk about his unique path to Dallas, his connection to Masai Ujiri, and the types of prospects the front office is targeting to pair alongside Cooper Flagg. Lesley McCaslin and Devin Harris break down two forward prospects who could be on the Mavericks’ radar — Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg and Tennessee’s Nate Ament. To wrap things up, Mark highlights an Iowa State forward who could be a potential fit for Dallas with the 30th pick.
