BROOKLYN — The Celtics have selected Guerschon Yabusele from France with the 16th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft.
Yabusele, a 20 year-old from Dreux, France, is 6'8", 260 lbs. and plays small forward.
Kevin O'Connor, who joined the FOX25 Sports Wrap prior to this year's draft to provide his insight, provided this summary of Yabusele in his annual NBA Draft Guide.
"Yabusele is an explosive athlete on offense, where he'll throw down haymaker slams and use his wide frame to bully smaller players. But he doesn't play with the same intensity on defense, so his upside is questionable and could largely depend on his character."
