No it doesn't. You are taking it as it is certain he will develop as expected. But it is not, it is risky. Things can go wrong. Based on where Mavs are now, I prefer to take a player ready to contribute than a long term project.

I have no idea how have you came to this comparison. Pokusevski is not 22 year old Kirilenko yet - he has 4 years to get there. Not even close. 27 year old Davis??? I am speaking about more NBA ready prospects. S. Bey for example. If anything I made a proposal of trading #18 for established wing like Osman. I prefer proven Osman against "perhaps will become Kirilenko in 4 years" Pokusevski. Based on where Mavs are now.
