So much for Guerschon Yabusele being the steal of the offseason.
Yes, yes, yes. This falls into the “overreaction” bin. The New York Knicks’ season isn’t yet five games old. Landing Yabusele for most of the mini mid-level exception over the summer is not a move for which the team must feel buyer’s remorse.
Not yet, anyway.
That in itself is sort of the problem. Yabusele’s addition was considered a home run, someone whose strengths would buoy the Knicks from the jump. He can shoot threes, has a bit of a floor game, and despite not being the sturdiest defender, holds his own in space, and unlocks downright lethal five-out lineups when manning the 5 spot.
