Starting for the last pre-season match, Guerschon Yabusele should have a great role with the Sixers, especially if Joel Embiid is often preserved. After signing, the Frenchman was honest.
Now at the Sixers for the entire season, Guerschon Yabusele was eager to return to NBA. It was a long-standing wish for the interior, which reached a new milestone this summer after its Olympic Games. There were not many teams to sign him, but the person concerned is convinced of being in the right place to shine for the future, as he revealed to journalists.
Guerschon Yabusele honest on the Sixers
Guerschon Yabusele : “It’s been 5 years and obviously around the summer, I was expecting a phone call. But it allowed me to work even harder, to keep pushing and to never give up. And each time I returned to my team, I said to myself, ‘I have to do a little more’. It’s a long process. »
“I think it was necessary. I’m a different player now and I understand more things, and I keep pushing. »
Yabusele is definitely not the same player he was when he first joined the Celtics. We can say that he is better in all areas, he who hopes to find a good place in the Sixers rotation. Seen praise from his coach, Nick Nursewe can say that it’s off to a good start.
This is especially true since Philly knows in advance that Joel Embiid will not play 82 regular season games. After a busy summer and a still problematic knee, the franchise will do its utmost to ensure that the star arrives in the playoffs in full health. The load management will therefore be real, with a reduction in minutes and Embiid resting several times, which will benefit Yabu among the Sixers.
The team would probably prefer to have Embiid for every game, but it’s not for nothing if It was left over signed. He is convinced that he is in the right place to shine, possibly in this pivotal role. The Frenchman is in any case considered a big signing this summer.
It was left over : “There were several teams, but they didn’t really move in the end. Philly was the only team that was really interested in signing me. Things have been going on with my agent for a few years, so it was important. Then looking at the team, everything in this organization, I think it’s a very good place for me.
Because Joel Embiid is expected to be limited all season, Guerschon Yabusele will have a big role with the Sixers and in Nick Nurse’s rotation. It’s rather interesting for the Frenchman, who is determined to win in the long term.
