Ihow many successful rotation players have that body type?

What does he do well he can hang his hat on to even hold a rotation spot?

I can't think of anything he does that stands out.
ok fine

I don't, Yabusele has shown some improvement defensively, but overall I don't see enough signs to think that he can grow into becoming a fulltime rotation player.

I would trade Yabusele for cap space, but I wish him all the best. In fairness he never got an actual chance, despite being drafted #16th, a good professional and teammate. Don't blame Yabu, but this is a perfect example of a wasted asset.

Pretty much agree with you, Rody.

He's behind Semi right now and I've heard many times last year they like Semi and he has shown great improvement in practice. So unless we are talking about Yabu being the water boy there is little hope!

Yabu is eating up cap space.

He'll be gone if Ainge needs the cap space.
Semi would be in the same situation as well I think. I think the odds are fairly decent that neither one will be in a Celtics uniform come training camp.

 Yeah, I hope he doesn't hit 300 pounds.

I won’t be.  I think he could very well be salary dumped/stretched if we need the space, but I don’t think his salary will be used for matching purposes at this point, given that we’re under the cap.
