76ers forward: I hope to go to a team that can give me playing time and be competitive

Guerschon Yabusele recently accepted an interview with reporters, in which he also talked about his expectations for the free agent market.

Abusele said: I have played for a team that has allowed me to play and has allowed me to play for many minutes this season, and I am very satisfied with it. So what I want now is an environment that will still allow me to get stable playing time next season. I'm not asking for 40 minutes in every game, that's a bit crazy. I just hope to play in an environment that suits my own characteristics and also suits the team. We have a goal that we can achieve together, and the direction of each player on the team is the same. If I can continue to play for the 76ers, I will be very happy. This season was really great for me and it was a very special experience that impressed me. The fans have been expressing their support for me, and so have the team. So if I could come back here next season, I would be more than happy. Of course, if I want to play football somewhere else, I will accept this. I just hope to be in a team that is competitive enough and everyone has the same goals.

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%. This season, the 76ers' record is indeed not ideal due to the injuries of core players, but Abussele's personal performance is actually quite good, and he has fully demonstrated his offensive characteristics. Yabuselle, who has obtained a lot of playing time, has rich offensive methods and comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. Not only does he have good scoring ability at the basket, he is also relatively sure of shooting in mid- and long distances, but he also has certain characteristics in passing and supporting.

According to previous news, since the Sixers will renew their contract with backcourt player Quentin Grimes this summer, this also caused them not to have enough space to provide Abuselle with a competitive offer. Judging from Abussele's performance this season, he should be able to get many teams in the free market that need to strengthen their competitive position in the No. 4 position. He should not get another basic salary contract. I don’t know how the 76ers will operate in the market next. Will they choose to keep Yabussele?
