Even if Paul George’s knee injury overshadowed Philadelphia’s victory (104-89), this poster between the Hawks and the Sixers showed that Zaccharie Risacher et Guerschon It was left over had very quickly (re)adapted to the NBA. Eighth man, in the relay for Dyson Daniels, the number 1 of the 2024 Draft confirmed that his mobility and his ease with the ball were very interesting.
Able to provoke the defense on two dribbles and go to the end of the baseline, the young Hawks winger finished top scorer in his team with 14 points and 8 rebounds. At the break, he was already at 9 points and 5 rebounds, while Atlanta led 54-48.
Guerschon Yabusele used as a pivot
It will be more complicated later, and the Hawks attack will completely foil when they return from the locker room. Opposite, Guerschon Yabusele once again came into play as Andre Drummond’s understudy, in a pivotal role in a “small ball” five. Aggressive and capable of punishing from afar, the Olympic vice-champion posed big problems for the Hawks. Nick Nurse then played him in his natural position, after Drummond returned to his side.
This is the Yabusele that we knew at Real Madrid or in the French team, capable of grabbing the rebound and launching a quick game, but also of being at the conclusion in transition, at 3-points or near the circle.
Upon arrival, a double-double and a complete game with 10 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. Since the start of the preseason, the Frenchman is 6 out of 12 from 3-point range, and he brings, at position 4, a weapon that the Sixers did not have last season.
