The Sullinger comparisons are the most accurate I've heard so far. Make no mistake: Yabs is a BIG. He won't be able to move his feet on the perimeter like a Draymond Green, or for that matter like a Semi Ojeleye. He just doesn't have that type of quickness at his size and weight. I see him more as a small-ball 5 than a "swing"-type player.
Agree completely. I'm surprised by the number of people on this board who think that physics and biomechanical limits don't apply to Yabu. he's listed at 270. That is 35 pounds heavier than Draymond. That kind of mass has a lot of inertia behind it, and making it change directions at speed requires incredible force. Expecting him to move like a wing is asking him to do the impossible.
Also - carrying that much weight out on the wing takes a huge toll on the body. He's got a foot injury now that kept him out of summer league. When a player that size starts having foot injuries, I start to think his future isn't going to be very bright. This isn't Steph Curry strengthening his weak ankles; this is Steph Curry carrying an 80-pound pack out on the perimeter.
A few more comparisons - Sully, who is taller, is listed at 260 or 265 in different sources. Brook Lopez is listed at 265. That's how big Yabu is.
