Can anyone think of another 275 pound athletic Freak?

[redrobot]

The few videos I've seen of him at workouts look nothing like that dude

Are you saying you doubt that's him? It looks a lot like him.

No no, not doubting it's him - just that the selfie of him looks like a completely different body type than his workout video.

But if he's coming from a boxing background, he certainly has experience with body mass and weight control. Will be interesting to see how this all works out.

I'm sorry but I don't like this pick at all. Especially if he's stashed for a year or two.

He has the type of body that will get out of shape quickly.

And, in case anyone forgot, he shot around 43% from three point land. If this guy can learn to play defense he will be a very good nba player.

He stays overseas for another years I think. Can the Celtics provide coaching to him during that time?

BRING BACK THA SHOW!!!

He reminds me of Leon Powe - but with 20 or so extra pounds.

Leon's game was inside oriented if I remember correctly - and he figured in some big games for us before his injuries.

I'm loving his pick and hope he can get some court time with us soon.

Can't think of anyone in this weight range... Glen Davis was 300, Larry Johnson 250, so Yabusele fits right in the middle.

Pretty curious about Yab, and what the plans are for him. Great body language in those clips. Looking hyped up!

Guerschon Yab, Approximately 6'7" 270 pounds, and movement wise he's an absolute freak of nature. Way Quicker than Larry Johnson ever was.

 It's actually mind blowing seeing this guy just float right buy smaller players like they are standing still.

 Chuck was a good 2" shorter than Yab, and Barkley was more Explosive, but that's the closest thing I can think of with that type of bodyweight, Quickness and Power combination.

 I think Yab cab blow by people much better than Marcus Smart. The kids first step is tremendous. He might be a gem.

Way quicker than Larry Johnson ever was? Then you never saw Larry Johnson in his prime, or you are way overrating a few shaky scouting videos against non-competition. Probably both.

He's probably remembering Larry Johnson post-injury. Still, I'm not writing off Yabusele. He does move well, which is fine. The 43% from three is really intriguing from a guy his size and mobility though.

The Bucks may have the Greek Freak.....but we have.......


The French Freak

I like the alliteration better than the rhyme. Rolls off the tongue better.

If Yabs works out, maybe we don't have to listen to all those moaners and groaners on here decrying the fact that Anteken...whatever his name is, isn't a Celtic.

I'll believe it when I see it

[libermaniac]

Looks kind of like Herchel Walker.

I'll admit that I knew nothing of him pre-draft. But I like the potential here. Has the size, has the shot, good handles and can run.

About the same standing reach as Draymond 8'10ish, with 45 more pounds to him. I think he could possibly benefit from losing 10-15 pounds. At 16 he may have been a reach but then again 2-3 years down the line he could be considered a steal there.  I hope we bring him over immediately and stash Ante.
