Yabusele and Zizic may very well have been drafted because the C's don't want them here this year. The Celtic's know all about their contracts and drafted them probably as much because of those contracts as their actual talent. It may be very hard for them to force the C's to bring them to the NBA this year or even next and that may very well be exactly what the C's want.
Lol.
I guess you must not understand the situation? The C's have 9 players under guaranteed contracts for next year already, that is before the draft. Brown will make 10. If the C's do not sign Bentil, Jackson and Nader to contracts by I believe by the start of the NBA year they will be unprotected in the D league.<Not exactly sure the rules on that. Nader likely will just go to the D league. Bentil and Jackson may very well get minimum rookie contracts. If Bentil and Jackson sign you have 12 under contract.
If Zizic and Yabusele were to stay in NBA this year you would be at 14 having no room for Turner, Sully, Amir, Jerebko, Zeller or whomever else the C's want to sign. Both of them are under contract in Europe next year, Yabusele does have an NBA out clause, Zizic does not. It is highly unlikely they were drafted with the intention of bringing them to the NBA this year.
