The New York Knicks celebrated their savvy signing of French forward Guerschon Yabusele this summer as they loaded up for a run at the NBA Finals. What Yabusele is realizing is that he should have signed somewhere other than New York to continue his career.
The career arc of Yabusele is not a common one, but it is an impressive one. He entered the league in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft, selected by the Boston Celtics and dubbed the “Dancing Bear” because of his agility at his size and build. Ultimately, he didn’t prove ready for the NBA and he left to play overseas.
