I haven't seen this posted anywhere. He looks good. I love his handle and his strength. I guess the 3 pointer still needs work but he's got a nice mid-ranger. He already looks like a better Sullinger.

thanks for posting that link.  tp.  Yabu looks more nba ready than I thought from the summer league stuff I saw with him.  He reminds me more of a barkley type big and strong and hard to keep away from the basket.  I think there is a place for him with the c's.  Just gotta let the roster shake out this year and see how things work out for  him next year.

Yabu seems like a potential Bass/Sully hybrid. Athletic and big. Both of those guys contributed but had flaws.

Sully was a smart kid who just couldn't keep his weight down. Bass was a great athlete who didn't have a very high IQ. If Yabusele has can bring the best of what those two brought, he could be great here. Of course that's looking way too far ahead, but still. Nice to see we can keep track of our players outside the NBA.

An interesting article on Yabusele. It appears that one reason he chose Shanghai was their advanced strength and conditioning program.

If the body fat rumor has any truth, it's working.

I like Yabu. I think he is more of a scorer than Sully or Bass, but it remains to be seen whether his IQ can keep him on the court. When he plays, he scores.
