Olivier-Maxence Prosper, at 2 years old, could be seen cheering his mom and dad from the stands. As soon as there was a break, he wouldn’t miss an opportunity to run around the court with a basketball. Fast forward to today, and he is one of the most potent defensive players on the court. “Getting drafted has always been a dream of mine. As a kid, you always want to go play in the NBA,” Prosper said on his big draft night.

Olivier kick-started his NBA dream back in 2023. Initially selected by the Sacramento Kings, he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks on the same night. The Mavs had eyes on Oliver since his time in the academy. He scored a career-high 22 points while playing for Marquette, and Mavericks’ General Manager Nico Harrison went all in to get the young talent.

Right from the beginning, Prosper felt right at home. “I just felt the love from the jump, and definitely felt like a place I can call home,” he stated to the media, following his draft to the Mavericks. So how much is Olivier making while realizing his NBA dreams?
