The Philadelphia Sixers wanted to retain Guerschon Yabusele over the summer, but according to him, the offer was "really low," so he signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Knicks instead. It turns out that was a blessing in disguise for Philadelphia, as Yabusele looks nothing like the player he was last season for the Sixers.
He's averaging 2.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, shooting 36.5% from the field and 28.6% from three in 10.3 minutes across 18 games. New York thought that his shooting and versatility would be a plus off the bench under Mike Brown, but Yabusele has struggled through the first quarter of the season.
