Mavericks selected Sergio de Larrea with the No. 25 pick in the NBA Draft.
A native of Valladolid, Spain, the 6-foot-6 De Larrea helped lead Valencia to the Spanish Supercup this season. One of the top young international players in this draft class, he averaged 7.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists in just over 14 minutes per game while shooting 45.0 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from three and 81.2 percent from the foul line. De Larrea’s combination of basketball IQ, size and shooting ability makes him one of the most intriguing prospects in this class. New York traded back from 24 to 25 and received cash considerations. De Larrea’s draft rights were eventually acquired by Phoenix, which sent them to Dallas in exchange for the draft rights to No. 30 overall pick Koa Peat. For the transactions, the Knicks received five second-round picks, two from Dallas and three from Phoenix. The question is whether De Larrea comes over immediately or spends another season in Spain, but his chances of playing in the NBA in 2026-27 have improved with the move to Dallas.
