One of the biggest storylines last season for the Knicks was the lack of contribution from their bench. Sure, the coaching tendencies of Tom Thibodeau may have compounded the issue, but their bench was weak. This season, their bench should be much improved, possibly even a strength, and Guerschon Yabusele just showed fans why.
Yabusele dropped a national team career high 36 points, while also draining a national team career high six 3-pointers, during France's 83-76 victory over Poland in Eurobasket play. France has been without some key players, such as Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, and Evan Fournier.
