Partially overshadowed by the Sixers’ disappointing season, the 29-year-old Guerschon Yabusele has bucked a recent trend among established Euroleague veteran stars of failing to transition their game to the NBA
Yabusele has almost identical numbers to his time at Real Madrid
Sixers basic stats: 10.4-5.3 on 51-41-68 splits (63.6% TS) in 25 minutes per https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/y/yabusgu01.html
Last season Real Madrid stats between Liga ACB and the Euroleague (40 minute games): 9.6-3.9 on 52-43-75 splits in 22 minutes per game https://www.basketball-reference.com/international/players/guerschon-yabusele-1.html
Recently, MVP caliber Euroleague players like Sasha Vezenkov, Vasilije Micic, Mike James, and Milos Teodosic either due to talent or circumstances had small moments, but never proved themselves to be valuable NBA players
The same could be said for other Euroleague players that were closer to a role player profile, like former Yabusele Real Madrid teammate Gabriel Deck
Yabusele, meanwhile, looks like he still has a long career ahead of him as a valuable NBA role player, and has set himself up for life changing money in the offseason
