Guerschon Yabusele was crowned the steal of the offseason when he joined the New York Knicks. He’s not living up to that title. And if history is any indication, he probably never will.
This isn’t just about Yabusele’s sparse NBA track record, although that’s certainly part of the equation. He turned in a standout year with the Philadelphia 76ers last season, but it came after a half-decade away from the Association. Counting on him always carried degrees of risk, no matter how often people pointed to the improvements he made as a member of Real Madrid.
