I attended the game tonight at Greensboro. Here are my impressions of Yabu. He is FAT and OUT OF SHAPE!! He is a TWEENER. He is too big and slow to guard quick SF's and perhaps too short to guard PF's at the next level. His future is to either lose about 25-35 pounds to play SF or to move some of that fat into more muscle and play as an undersized PF.
I was SO disappointed. He likely will NOT make our team next year!!
Nader had a poor game by his standards, but he seemed like he had lost 20 pounds since seeing him play in G-boro about a month ago.
This game was rigged as the refs were going to make sure that the Swarm won their last home game!!
Mickey is TERRIBLE and cannot even come close to dominating at this low level.
Jackson is a JOKE!!!! He showed me NOTHING!!! I simply cannot see what the heck Danny saw in him to warrant giving him a multiple year deal, albeit not all guaranteed!!!
I am afraid I got to see three misses by Danny tonight in Yabusele, Mickey, and Jackson. Let's hope Nader is a gem (and I think he is!!!)!!!!

TP for the report Smitty. Yabu has no future as a SF. He was drafted to be a stretch four man.
He's shorter but does have an almost 7'2" wingspan, and he can shoot the three. It's too bad you report he's out of shape. Maybe he's a more athletic Sullinger.
He's got some upside, but I'm terrified about his defense, he probably should be stashed another year.
