Wembanyama's Olympic teammate makes plea for return to the NBA

The Olympics are over and the finest player the NBA has to offer can begin to head back to their respective corners. It's like when superheroes would come together to face an Avengers-level threat. After the work was done, Thor went back to Asgard, Tony Stark went to his mansions and Captain America returned to military duty. But there are non-superstars who contribute to these battles, and what happens to them after the fight is discussed at a less frequent rate.

With the NBA season still two months away, rosters are not set in stone. Due to the new CBA penalties, teams are making fewer trades than in years past. If you can improve your team by picking up one of the players who made a name for themselves, Channing Tatum-style, you would be smart to do so, and one of the surprise stars of the competition isn't shy about making his feelings known.

The Spurs should take a flier on Yabusele

Guerschon Yabusele showed why he deserves another shot at the NBA; his style of play can fit with what the Spurs are going for with some work. It felt like he was a bit of a gunner, needing to get his shots up to be at his most effective, but he's a serviceable passer, despite that not being his biggest strength. He lacks some lateral quickness, but Wembanyama's presence reduces the range he has to cover. Making intelligent decisions on that end and playing with energy can carry him through.

He wasn't afraid of the moment and there's something to be said about that. He averaged 14 points per game through group and elimination-round play in the Olympics, and in the last three games, he put 22, 17 and 20 on the scoreboard. He's a physical player who knows how to use his 6'8", 280-pound frame to his advantage. His three-ball was off during the tournament, but he shot 39% and 48% from distance in the two Euro Leagues he played in last season.

San Antonio currently has a full roster, so they would have to release someone to bring him in, but that's what non-guaranteed contracts are for.

Yabusele previously played two seasons for the Boston Celtics when he was 22 and 23 years old. Now, at 28, it would be a fantastic story to see him return to the league after showing out on a world stage and carving out a successful career in the NBA.
