Yabusele might be the most muscular person in the league. I can't think of anyone who looks bigger. Dwight howard got smaller since a few years ago I bet  he got off the roids

I seriously doubt he has the footspeed to play anything but center.

You clearly haven't seen him play then. He moves incredibly well for his size and is very light on his feet. That is how he got the nickname The Dancing Bear. He is the opposite of say a Big Baby Davis or Oliver Miller. He basically is a freak and the type of athlete NCAA football coaches dream of getting. His physical tools are not in question. 6'8" probably 280lb men do not move like this.

Yubu is a crazy physical freak. Players as big as he is should not be able to move like that. In the clip you put up he's playing against Tyler Hansbrough who is at least a fringe NBA player and Yabu is just punking him.

I have, and he looks skinny compared to Yabusele.  Super impressive frame but nowhere near the muscle size.

Sorry to hijack slighlty, but I am a William and Mary alum and a lifelong Celtics fan from Virginia.

There was a headline from Celtics Blog on August 18th: "Report: Celtics sign guard Daniel Dixon...Dixon fills the 20th and final roster spot for camp"

Just curious what happened to him since I went to his alma mater. He's definitely not on the camp roster. I am assuming he will go to Maine, but can't find anything when I google it.

Nice. Hopefully guarding Kyrie in practice every day helps Rozier's defense. And hopefully Kyrie is taking notes on that defense.

It funny but I think the best comp for Yabusele will end up being Big Baby. Big Baby and Yabu are similar size with similar length and at his best Baby moved really well for his size. The difference is that Yabu is such better shape that he can reach the ceiling that Big Baby never could. Babys best two seasons where 10-11 with the Cs where he averaged roughly 12pt 5rb in 30min and in an injurie shortened 12-13 where he averaged 15pt 7rb for the Magic.

I also suspect we will see a lot of Yabu at center for the Cs. His strength will compensate for his lack of height on defense and with time and development he shouldn't be overly exposed by backup centers. On offense he would give the Cs a 5 out center who should be able to exploit other backup centers in transition and off the dribble.

The one difference between the 2 is Yabu seems like he can shoot the 3 where Big Baby never could.  He probably has much better lift than Baby or Sully ever had for that matter.  Maybe he could eventually play the 5 similarly but hopefully a better version of it.
