He's proven that he has 2 NBA skills - he can rebound a little bit and he fully understands the concept of NBA Garbage Time when he (along with Nader) launch 3 after 3 when sent in to mop up games.  Other than that he's shown nothing. 

At some point he's got to make some real progress or he'll go the way of James Young.

Absolutely not worth his roster spot. Has no NBA level skills. All potential. Won't be in the league in 3 years. He's a very poor man's Jared Sullinger. Cut him, Nader, Bird, and look for new upside players.

i like the way you think ..


just more JJJ , Young , etc


Lets keep sifting though the dirt , till we find a nugget of gold.

He has made some moves others can not do. I see no way he does not stay through Next year. If he has the right teacher he can get there IMO. Anyone saying he has no talent is wrong he just does not understand what he can do at the moment. He is very teachable I have read and wants to be good. Rozier was listened and look where he is now. He has the right size for small ball the league is going to now.

Just wanting to be good doesn't mean a thing. He should mean too and as I wrote earlier in this thread instead of getting ready for the NBA he choose to play in China.  Even If the team wanted to stash him  there were plenty of teams in Europe he could have played for but he chose the fattest contract.. I highly doubt he has the mentality to make it in the nba

I saw absolutely nothing to like or to be impressed with from Yabusele yet.

Me neither.

The Celtics helped steer him towards China because their season ended much earlier than Europe, so that they could bring him over to the US afterwards if necessary.  He got hurt at the end of his season, and so was only able to play a couple games in Maine.  But going to China was a mutual decision between Yabusele and the Celtics, and not merely one motivated by a paycheck.

He needs an injection of confidence and aggression. The Bear is huge and very fast.

Obviously a highlight package is just that but I think there is real NBA talent there. Yes, sometimes Yabu looks like a kid that lost his parents at the mall but he's a rookie, JR Smith still looks like that and he's 32.

If Yabu can adjust to the speed of the game, mentally, his quickness and soft hands coupled with his strength and length will make him, at the least, a valuable rotation player in the NBA. The mental stuff will be his hurdle.

Same here, Tomasz is the man.

I liked the comment someone made when someone said Yabusele is that player with the Hall of Fame Pick and Pop badge lol.

Did we really need to see a 5 1/2 min video of Yabusele shooting threes? I mean, this is by far his best skill, and he only made 32% on three pointers last season.

Let's face it, 6'7 PFs that move as if they're 7'7 and play as if they're 5'7 are not really destined for great NBA careers.

Rookie Avery Bradley (19th pick):

- NBA season: 1.7 points, 0.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.3 steals, 0 blocks with 34%/0%/50% shooting - 31 games

- G-League season: 17.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 3 steals 45%/37%/86% - 9 games

Rookie Terry Rozier (16th pick):

- NBA season: 1.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.2 steals, 0 blocks 27%/22%/80% shooting - 39 games

- G-League season: 19.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.9 steals, 39%/34%/78% - 14 games

Rookie Yabusele (16th pick):

- NBA season: 2.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.1 steals, 0.2 blocks, 43%/32%/68% - 33 games

- G-League season: 20.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.7 blocks 49%/36%/80% - 14 games

....

He could end up nothing.  He could end up something.  I'm excited to see him in Summer League if he participates.  After Rozier's rookie season he showed up in Summer League and was literally a top 2 player in the entire summer league.
Not going to look up the numbers but some other picks that looked like crap in their rookie year but had good G-League years:

R.J. Hunter
James Young
Jordan Mickey
Abdel Nader (good G-League last year awful rookie year this year)
Fab Melo

So we will need to see about Yabusele. I really think he could go either way....good NBA player or complete washout. Time will tell.

Unless/until he's able to lose another 15-20 lbs, I just don't see him amounting to anything.  He lumbers way too much for today's NBA.

Of course it is. What do you expect from CB when a rookie doesn’t perform up to their weird unrealistic standards?

Cs fans have reason for not believing every player the Celtics draft aren't that good. Yabusele showed as much in his rookie season as most if not all of these guys.
