The Mavericks moved into the first round and have acquired 6-foot-4 shooting guard Dominique Jones from South Florida. Jones was drafted by Memphis for Dallas, according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein. The Mavericks purchased the 25th overall pick, according to sources.

After discussing potential draft-night deals with several teams -– including talks earlier this week with Miami to acquire the 18th overall pick that was ultimately dealt to Oklahoma City -– Dallas struck this trade with the Grizzlies to acquire the Big East's second-leading scorer. Stein reports the Mavs paid the maximum $3 million to get the pick.

Mavs owner Mark Cuban took to Twitter to announce that the Mavs tried to move into the top 20 to get James and said "got lucky to get him at 25."

The 6-4, 215-pound guard with a 6-foor-9 wingspan averaged 21.4 points last season for South Florida. He was the only player in the nation to average 21 points, six rebounds and three assists.

Here's Jones' bio from the NBA draft guide:
