This isn’t the only player from the top French basketball league LNB Pro A who is being talked about as a potential late first round pick. Petr Cornelie has also been drawing significant interest from teams picking near the end of the first round.
Yabusele is a different type of player compared to Cornelie. He’s undersized as a conventional power forward at 6’8’’, but he’s very powerful, weighing in at 260 LBS.
His tough approach in the post is to be expected from a player of his weight, but Yabusele has shown grittiness on and off the basketball court.
