Poulakidas scored 8.8 points with 2.4 threes in 19.5 minutes across 13 NBA games, shooting 42.9% overall and 40.3% from three. That is only 253 NBA minutes.
Fantasy translation
- Nine-category: deep-league three-point streamer if promoted into 18+ minutes.
- Points: low-ceiling because the role contributes little beyond scoring.
- Dynasty: two-way watch, not a priority hold; specialist shooting must survive defensive targeting.
Role, floor, ceiling, uncertainty
- Median role: Texas Legends lead shooter with short Dallas call-ups.
- Floor: no meaningful NBA rotation time.
- Ceiling: 18 MPG and 2.5 threes during a wing injury cluster.
- Contract: Dallas signed him to a two-way in March 2026.

Career record
Pre-NBA: Four years at Yale (2021-22 through 2024-25). A 1.9-point freshman, then three straight seasons of 40-plus percent three-point shooting: 12.0 points on .401 from deep in 2022-23, 13.4 on .405 in 2023-24, and 19.4 points on .451/.408/.897 in 31.6 minutes as a senior. First-team All-Ivy and Ivy League Tournament MVP in 2025, second-team All-Ivy in 2024. Draft: undrafted (2025). Signed with the Clippers for 2025 Summer League and spent 2025-26 with San Diego in the G League — 37 games at 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 27.0 minutes on .451 from three — before Dallas signed him to a two-way on March 3, 2026.
| Season | Age | Team | GP | MPG | PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | 3PM | FG% | FT% | TO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-26 | 22 | DAL | 13 | 19.5 | 8.8 | 2.3 | 0.8 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 2.4 | .429 | .857 | 0.3 |
| Career | 13 | 19.5 | 8.8 | 2.3 | 0.8 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 2.4 | .429 | .857 | 0.3 |
Durability: No injury record. The 13-game total reflects a two-way signed on March 3 and a season that ended six weeks later, not missed time — 253 NBA minutes in total.
Trajectory: One skill, executed at every level: .401, .405 and .408 from three across three Yale seasons, .451 in the G League, .403 on 2.4 makes a night in a 13-game NBA cameo. The sample is too short to mean much and the 2.2 fouls per game hints at the defensive targeting that decides whether a 6-6 specialist stays on the floor. He needs a two-way slot to survive camp and then a wing injury cluster to get past garbage time; absent that, he is the Texas Legends' lead scorer with occasional call-ups. Tarik Biberović's arrival makes the two-way slot itself less certain.

Open questions
- Does Dallas retain him on a two-way through opening night?
- Can he defend well enough to stay on the court?
- Is Biberović's arrival fatal to his NBA-minute path?
