Now that Horford likely gone, R Williams still raw, G Williams a rook, is Yabusele being under-sold here as someone to give us decent minutes at the 4/5 position, especially if we don't swing a trade or FA signing to our liking? He has been completely written off by this board, and for good reason.But the fact remains he plays hard, stays within the system, and has good size/weight to handle other bigs.
My biggest disappointment with him has been (i) his 3 point shooting (he was high 30's% going into the draft; this could be a minutes thing), and (ii) his weight. He seems heavier than usual. Draymond was having a below average year last season, until he decided to lose 20 pounds, and it really paid off.
I know the Celtics talked to Yabu about his weight before. I would think this could be corrected pretty quickly, assuming he was willing to put in the effort. He plays so hard on the court, so I doubt it is his attitude.
