Does anyone else think Yabu is going to be really good?

[rondohondo]

I know it was summer league, and it was the only time I saw him play live last year, but I was really impressed with him.

He can shoot the 3 , seems to have a pretty good handle for a big man and has the footwork from his boxing days.

I say he can at least be a Marcus Morris type.

Much more excited for Yabu than Zicic.

[Snakehead]

He has very high potential (for reasons you hit on) but that's all at the moment.  I am excited to see him play.

[cousytoheinsohn]

I've got the same feeling about Yabusele vis a vis Zizic, RH.

I'm cautiously optimistic at this point.

Owing to Avery's departure, we may see Yabs up close sooner rather than later.

[PAOBoston]

Who knows?

He has nice tools at his disposal. Depends on if he gets My sort of reps.

[Who]

Yes -- but I think he is another year away from being a rotation player. His awareness about what is happening on defense needs a lot of work. He is good on offense already but not good enough to make up for his defense. 3rd string PF this season.

[Cman]

I don't know how good he'll be, but he has some intriguing traits.
He's big, surprisingly quick for a player his size, and he can shoot from the outside.
I worry that he'll get overweight.
I think he'll gain a lot from being on the bench this year. Even if he doesn't get much playing time, the daily practice with Morris, Horford, and others will be good for him.

[Surferdad]

I don't know, and I don't want to speculate.  These Utah SL games have me gun-shy about making any predictions on young players that have not played against NBA or even G-league level players.

did not impress at maine

[Forza Juventus]

Hopefully we keep him here this year so he is in 2k

[chiken Green]

His size and nimble feet are pretty intriguing.. He can shoot it..  I think he Can be really good but I dont see how he can get really nba good if we dont let him actually play in the NBA.. 

I dont think he is going to play overseas for all this time and then come to the NBA and be ready immediately.

 

[gouki88]

I think he can eventually be a really solid power forward, hopefully we put some time into him this year and turn him into a serviceable big by sometime in 2018.

[droopdog7]

Meh.  Undersized power forward with average skills.  Perhaps he can carve out a role and last a few years or perhaps not.

[EJPLAYA]

I think he is a career D League level talent. Looks pretty impressive against rookies and low end players, but is not going to be that competitive against real NBA talent. I'd love to be wrong though.
