There's really only 3 players I think I would take ahead of Trae Young right now, and only 2 that I feel very confident about.

#1 Doncic
#2 Ayton
#3 Jackson Jr (definitely could see an argument for taking Young over him)

After that Trae Young is the best player in the draft, imo (and a lot of other people's too). Some people will say Bagley III or Bamba, but Trae Young looks like Chef Curry 2.0 to me. Tonight 44 pts 9 asst 4 reb 6 TOs on effective shooting #s and he sealed the win down the stretch with a couple clutch plays. He's no secret anymore, and he's still dominating opponents.
As good as Trae Young is, there's no way I take him over Bagley or Bamba, especially if we are talking BPA/need mixed pick for Mavs.

I absolutely think Young can play with DSJ, but that would only be after those top 5 are drafted and off the board, Jackson Jr. being the debatable 5th guy to take.
