After bolstering the backcourt with Philon earlier in this mock, the Mavericks move out to the wings here and finish the first round with a bet on Yessoufou’s physical tools and scoring chops.
He’s all power, hustle and explosion at the moment, but that’s not the worst combination of a tooled-up swingman. He has to improve his feel and find consistency with his jumper, but those physical gifts offer a decent margin for error. His absolute-best-case-scenario isn’t super likely, but it is potentially special, and Dallas should be searching for that kind of upside as it builds things up around Cooper Flagg.
