2024 Olympics - Men's Basketball - Gold!

Spotrac is a site that keeps track of player and team contracts in various pro leagues, including the NBA.

Their top trending player right now? Guerschon Yabusele, who scored 20 points in 31 minutes for silver medalist France today.

He was drafted by the Celtics with the #16 pick in 2016 and signed to a 4-year rookie deal in 2017. He played 74 games for Boston over 2 seasons, averaging about 6-7 minutes per game. He was waived in 2019.

Edited to add: looks like Steph Curry creeped ahead of him as I wrote this, but Yabusele is presently #2, ahead of LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
 
I love the Olympics and it's awesome to see the players so excited to win for their country. Jayson laughing and clowning on the bench was gratifying to see. I think there will be more room for his skillset in LA, although if Kerr is still the coach he might want to get that in writing. :)

Also a shout out to the coaches, they also sacrificed a good chunk of their offseason to represent the USA.
