 Here is Larry when he was young. He is quicker, but The French Freak is much bigger, heavier, stronger, and jumps higher than Larry.

 So he's more of a physical freak IMO.

I'm on board until that jumping high part. I haven't seen anything that makes me think Yabusele can leap like Larry Johnson did. He plays above the rim a little bit, but Johnson in his prime really got up. Physically the brandon bass comp looks closer to me.

He doesn't seem any more athletic than Brandon Bass. Freak is a big overstatement.

Brandon Bass would be a great athletic comp.  I hope he is that good.

This guy is not the athlete Larry Johnson was.  Just stop it right now.  Anthony Bennett maybe.

 Crimson brought up Rodney Rogers in another thread. They are similar height and weight and Rogers could still move and Jump. Best comp so far IMO.

Hearing there's a chance Guerschon Yabusele will play summer league with the Celtics.

I might get a lot of flack for this but I'd argue Vince Wilfork is an athletic freak for his weight which is like 350.
You will get no flack from me on that.

Not only was Vince insanely fast exploding off a stance for such a huge guy, he also was in great aerobic shape.   Think about what kind of endurance it takes for a 350 lb man to play pretty much every defensive snap in an NFL game in the Miami heat in September.   He did that year in and year out for ages.

Lebron was close to 275 in Miami. I'm super excited by this pick though. Even moreso than Brown.

 I respectfully disagree watch here starting at 4:05 three highlights of him blowing buy people.

 Why you combine his Height, weight, quickness, speed, jumping ability, you have a man child Freak. This dude is different.https://youtu.be/_byJ_VztiSU

Dude, great video. The kid is a fast-moving tank
