He's not terrible defensively for his age, he's a huge body, and he's a right shot. That's already three things Yakupov wasn't ever going to be.
Maybe he's not the Blake Wheeler 2.0 he was originally hyped as (then again, Wheeler took until six years after his draft to break out) but he's got a lot of attractive tools to be a valuable middle sixer. I mean if Jake Virtanen could make it, Pulujujarvi sure can as he's a far more valuable piece.
