Change of continent, change of league and change… of ball for Guerschon Yabuselewho is entitled to a second chance in the Big League, with the Sixers.
“For the moment things are going really well, we really have a good team” he explains on RMC. “They are happy with what I do, they ask me to get rebounds and make shots. Above all, you have to get used to the ball again, it's really a big change. Sometimes I feel like it's soap! The ball is much smoother (than in Europe). If you go for the dunk and try to catch it with one hand, it can escape you…”
Guerschon Yabusele thus played with “Molten” in international competitions, and “Spalding” in the Spanish championship or in the Euroleague, a brand that the NBA has replaced with “Wilson” since 2021.
But the 28-year-old will have to get used to it, because he feels that his experience at Real Madrid, as well as his Olympic Games, have changed his status, and that he therefore has a real chance of having a significant role at Philadelphia.
“I feel this respect from the players and coaches, the context is completely different from Boston. People look for me a lot. I feel like I have this confidence. There is definitely something to play for me. My role will be different compared to the French team. I will have to adapt to have a lot of energy and bounce off the bench. My three years at Real gave me experience.”he concludes.
