The 23-year-old Poulakidas is a second-generation Greek-American.

He spent four years at the prestigious Yale University, where in his final season, he averaged 19.4 points with 41% shooting from beyond the arc.

He has appeared in 12 games for the Mavericks, averaging 18.1 minutes, 7.3 points, and 2.3 rebounds, shooting 58% on two-pointers, 38% on three-pointers, and a perfect 100% from the free-throw line.

He is certainly making a notable impact and remains a focal point, much like other Greek players who, under the right circumstances, could don the jersey of the Greek National Team.
