While the numbers don't mean much, the footwork looks solid, the rebound positioning looks really good, can drop a 3 on you and appears to like the dirty work.

While, one was do well regardless of competition, and he did, that was poor competition.

Awful

I agree he's a stud but not a very good defender.  A better more versatile offensive player than big baby though.

Awful

I'm assuming you're referring to the league he's playing in right?

Or do you mean how he played?
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

scores 29 points and 13 rebounds--highlites on u tube---guershon yabusele full highlights vs singapore

Shavlik Randolph averaged 32 points (on 49% shooting) along with 14.4 rebounds over 28 games when he played in China in 12-13.

He then came to Boston just after that, averaged 4 points and 4 rebounds in 12 minutes.

I wouldn't get too excited.

Why the hell is he in such a garbage league?

Bc only way he can play 1 year with no strings attached

Celts want him to practice his game. Work on a few things. Get in better conditioning. But without taking up a roster spot

The difference between Yabu and Jimmer Fredette, Al Thornton and Shavlik Randolph is that those guys were all in the prime of their careers playing in China. Yabu's 20. We're not talking about a guy who has had years in the professional ranks to fine tune his skills. He's doing his work from instinct and athletic skills.

I'm not going to take much from those highlights beyond that he's raw but has potential. If I were Ainge, I'd want Yabu working on three things:

(1) Improving his handle to drive the lane. Yabu is too big for most SFs to guard and has good straight line speed with a quick first step. His ability to shoot 3 pointers will draw out many PFs to the perimeter. I'd want to ensure that he can put the ball on the floor and drive to the hoop while blowing by those guys.

(2) Rebounding positioning. Yabu doesn't get great lift but he's wide enough to take up space. I'd work with him on his positioning because if he can reliably shoot the 3 and rebound he'd have a long career just based on those two skills.

(3) Rather than just his set shot I'd love to see him able to drain 3s off the pick.

If he could improve those things, he'd have a chance to learn the defense when he got into Boston and he could really provide a spark off the bench at that point.

Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

If he had 60 points and 25 rebounds I'd be impressed.

Probably 6 and 6 in the the NBA

I highly doubt he couldn`t find a decent French team to sign for one year
