Guerschon Yabusele: Signs contract with Celtics

The terms of Yabusele’s deal haven’t been disclosed, so it remains to be seen if
it’s a guaranteed contract for the upcoming season or if it’s a two-way pact
that’d keep him in the G-League for most of the year. Either way, Yabusele will
be with the Celtics during training camp after being the 16th overall selection
in the 2016 NBA Draft. Last season, Yabusele played for the Shanghai Sharks of
the Chinese Basketball Association, before coming to the United States to play
for the Maine Red Claws in the G-League. With the Red Claws, Yabusele averaged
12.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 27.3 minutes, while also
shooting 49 percent from the floor. Even if he does make the Celtics’
regular-season roster, Yabusele could struggle to field minutes in a loaded
frontcourt.
