Celtics select Guerschon Yabusele with No. 16 pick of NBA draft

The Boston Celtics selected power forward Guerschon Yabusele with the No. 16 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Yabusele is likely to be a draft-and-stash, meaning the Celtics will keep him overseas for at least one season, The Vertical's Shams Charania reports, citing league sources.

The 20-year-old Frenchman is a physical load, standing 6-foot-8 and weighing 270 pounds. Yabusele comes in as one of this draft's most intriguing prospects, registering a near 7-foot-2 wingspan and a reliable shot out to the arc.

Yabusele, who boxed as a youngster, averaged 11.5 points on near 54-percent shooting and just under seven rebounds a game for French league club Rouen this past season.
