We are getting 2 more first round draft picks next year!!

No, its not what the title sounds like, and yes, it is misleading.

Now that it is confirmed that Yabusele will be playing overseas (in China, for a year), and with Zizic already agreeing to stay overseas another year, we will not see these two 2016 draft picks suit up for us (though maybe Yabusele might come over before the season is over).

That means, next year we will have 2 additional new young guys added onto the team. So its like getting 2 additional draft picks, and we already know who the players will be!!!

Really, I'm excited to see what Zizic can do. As pleasantly surprised as many of us were about Yabusele, it may Zizic who impresses us more.

If Yabusele were to play for the Celtics this year, even if only for a month or two, how does that affect how long he's under contract for Boston? Anyone know?

If Yabusele comes back before the season is over I could see him joining the Red Claws like Thornton did last year. Unless the Celtics have been hit very hard with injuries and they need him, I don't see them signing him for a contract just for a few games at the end of the season. I don't know how that would affect his contract status if he did but I just don't see them doing it.

I don't think that's possible under the current cba. if he wanted to play any of the season, he'd have to sign a 1st round contract, so he'd be here all year.

I can't remember a time where a Euro stash came over in this way. Maybe if there were a significant injury or something
