The 2024-25 season is in the books for the Philadelphia 76ers, which means it is the time to look back on the season that was for each player. The Sixers finished 24-58 as they missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2016-17 season amid a slew of injuries.
The Sixers used a grand total of 30 players throughout the season and an NBA record 53 starting lineups. This series will focus on the 15 players on standard deals and the three on two-way deals to finish the season–not anybody who finished the season on a 10-day deal.
Up next in this series is big man Guerschon Yabusele who was a surprised many with his strong and constant play. The Sixers could rely on Yabusele on a nightly basis to give them energy, a presence on the offensive end of the floor, and was able to play in 70 games.
Here is the final overview and grade for Yabusele in the 2024-25 season:
Yabusele’s 2024-25 stats
| Category | PPG | RPG | APG | SPG | FG% | 3FG% |
| Yabusele’s numbers | 11.0 | 5.6 | 2.1 | 0.8 | 50.1% | 38% |
Yabusele’s overview
The Sixers have to like what Yabusele was able to do on the offensive end. He immediately gave them somebody who can space the floor and produce on high volume as he took 3.9 3s per game and knocked them down at an efficient rate. The Dancing Bear was able to give the Sixers somebody to rely on in terms of availability as he started 43 of the 70 games he played and gave Philadelphia scoring, rebounding, and a much-needed energy for a group in need of all of those traits.
Yabusele’s highlights
The best performance Yabusele gave came on Jan. 31 in a showdown with Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. He went for 28 points and seven rebounds with three steals while shooting 12-for-17 from the floor and knocked down four triples on seven attempts.
Final grade
As mentioned, Yabusele was the one constant for Philadelphia all season. The Sixers knew what they were getting from him on a nightly basis and he came to work with no complaints every night. He played a lot of center when his natural position is at the 4 and one has to believe Philadelphia will do everything it can to retain his services.
Final grade: A
