With a two-year contract, the former 76ers forward player has been signed, has the Knicks bench depth been significantly improved?

According to the report of ESPN's well-known reporter Shams Charania, the New York Knicks reached an agreement with French forward Guerschon Yabusele, who played for Philadelphia 76ers last season. Yabusele received a two-year contract with a total amount of $12 million from the Knicks. According to follow-up news from HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto: Yabussele's final goal is actually the only Denver Nuggets and the Knicks, but in the end, Yabussele chose New York as the next stop in his career. He chose to leave the 76ers because the 76ers had previously reached a two-year contract with Trendon Watford, which would also replace Abussele's previous position as the 76ers.

In the NBA regular season this season, Yabuselle played 70 games in 82 games, averaging 27.1 minutes per game, averaging 11 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 50.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 38%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.5%. As the 76ers are full of wounded soldiers this season, Abussele also has a lot of playing time and performance opportunities. He also seized these opportunities to fully utilize his abilities and characteristics. Yabuselle is excellent on the offensive end, he has a lot of offensive methods, is an excellent scorer, and his ability to pass and support is also quite outstanding.

Judging from the Knicks' situation, after the free market opened, they first signed with Jordan Clarkson, who was cut by the Utah Jazz. Now they have won Yabuselle again. Both players are very excellent sixth candidates. It seems that the Knicks' bench depth will be greatly improved next season. During the playoffs this season, the Knicks were almost unavailable on the bench, and the team's starters seemed very tired, and the players' condition could not be guaranteed at a critical moment, which is also an important factor in their inability to go further in the playoffs. Next season, the Knicks, which have further strengthened, will also look more competitive.

From Yabuselle's perspective, his choice to join the 76ers with a basic salary last season was definitely a success. He received a bigger contract this summer and he will also play in more competitive teams next season. However, next season should have a more critical impact on his NBA career. Everyone should be able to imagine that Yabuselle, the top power forward in the European arena, has the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA. By next season, Yabuselle needs to prove that he has the ability to play an important role in the playoff-level team, which will also have a decisive impact on his future struggle for a larger contract.
