After arriving at the New York Knicks this summer on a two-year contract from Philadelphia, the French team captain never managed to secure a spot in the rotation. Now, he lands in a Chicago team undergoing a revolution after losing Coby White, Kevin Huerter, and Nikola Vucevic.
Yabusele becomes the third French player on the squad, joining Noa Essengue and Ousmane Dieng, who arrived from the Thunder following time with the Hornets. The great news for Dieng and Yabusele is that they are entering a roster currently saturated with guards. Consequently, there is plenty of available playing time to reclaim at the small forward and power forward positions, or potentially even at the center spot for this specific group.
