Yabusele is our Draymond Green project-looks GREAT

[GreenShooter]

$20 says he'll tear down a backboard eventually (sooner than later), with one of those monster dunks, if he maintains his weight around 250.

Has LeBron torn down a backboard yet? He's bigger and stronger than the French Tank.

His violence and strength on some of those dunks is just vicious.

[Ogaju]

the new backboards are designed to withstand monster dunks. Even Shaq had a hard time tearing them down.

I don't intend to dwell on the disaster that was last night

Yeah, it wouldn't be like you to dwell on anything

Second year in a row we reached at #16 for a guy projected in the 2nd round.  Danny apparently doesn't care about trading down.  He seems to ignore intel on what other teams want (perhaps because all the intel we hear is misdirection and garbage?) and just takes the guy he wants regardless of how it's perceived the guy is ranked.
 
Both Rozier and now this Yabusele kid either need to produce for Boston or they'll be a waste of a pick since nobody is itching to get a 2nd round level asset taken on a #16 pick contract.

That's not to say they will not succeed.  They both might be players.  I'd just guess they have significantly less trade value than a #16 pick. 

How many years do you expect this Yabusele guy will stay overseas?

Draft mocks on websites are just educated opinions. Team's draft mocks are likely significantly different than anything you will find online. Rozier was likely going to OKC or Houston if Ainge didn't snatch him up at 16 last year. I think Ainge actually has a pretty good pulse on what other team's are seeing, and that's exactly why Rozier was taken 16. Don't know about this guy, though.

This seems like a reasonable pick to me, but probably not a steal. I definitely see why Ainge drafted him, as his combo of size, length and athleticism makes for a nice overall package, and he shot really well on a small sample size from the international 3pt line (27/63) as well as from the FT line (78/101). However, he is bad on defense. He really needs to improve on that end, and even though there is no physical reason he can't be good, he is probably an underdog to ever be average on that end.

Anyone else loving this pick?
Yabusele looks really, really solid.
He can defend switches, attack closeouts and hit the 3, and has the strength of a gorilla and NBA length at 7'1" with 8'11" standing reach and great agility guarding the perimeter.
He is our version of Draymond Green IMO.

Read the euro stash comments but I can see him coming in andaying immediately off the bench, especially if Sully/Zeller walk.

My thoughts exactly. I'm really excited about the pick.

There is a real possibility that Yabu become a better player than Brown

Yabu has little holes in his game.   He is a PF/SF but I think if he slimmed down a tad (not much) he could play SF full time also.  Just so quick on his feet.

Ainge drafted Backup Muscle this year....Brown/Yabusele/Bentil....cause he knows KD is skinny.
