Even before Monday night, Guerschon Yabusele was one of the bigger wildcards of the offseason roster revamping for the Philadelphia 76ers. Following an excellent Olympics campaign with France, the former first-round pick would be returning to the NBA for the first time since the 2018-19 season with the Boston Celtics. You could realistically imagine Yabusele doing anything from being a regular DNP-CD candidate with everyone healthy, to making an Kelly Oubre, Jr.-like rise up the rotation and becoming a sixth man, closing lineup candidate. That’s a much wider range of outcomes than the usual player signed in late August.
