Guerschon Yabusele on his journey: Three years after being drafted, I had no team

Guerschon Yabusele: After China, when I went back to France, I didn’t even finish that season. It was so crazy that I had to return to France and stay for a while without a club. I remember sitting down with my wife—she was pregnant with our first baby—and thinking, “What am I going to do?” I got drafted in the first round, 16th pick, and three years later, I had no team. I was just sitting there, wondering what was next. Once I realized that, I changed my mindset. I started working out like crazy, fell in love with the process, and committed to working hard. I respect the game. I had to go back to zero to get to where I am now, and I just keep pushing. That’s why I laugh when people say, “Oh, you’ve got so much energy.” I tell them, “Listen, I come from a tough place. I had to work hard and not cheat the process.”
