Guerschon Yabusele is not a little man. The Boston Celtics draft pick looks like he could toss aside an NFL lineman, tackle a Range Rover and shoulder press a yacht. But he has also slimmed down a bit recently and owns an impressive body fat percentage, according to the Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach.

Himmelsbach caught up with Yabusele in Houston where his Shanghai Sharks recently played a preseason game against the Rockets. Though the Sharks as a team are not even close to NBA caliber, it sounds like Yabusele is in a good place to develop. Himmelsbach detailed Shanghai's strength and conditioning program, which sounds like an elite operation:

According to Himmelsbach, Yabusele has cut 10 pounds since joining the Sharks and trimmed his body fat from 9 percent to 6 percent. That's the same body fat percentage noted skinny dude R.J. Hunter registered during last year's NBA combine, according to DraftExpress. Yabusele may look like a "Dancing Bear" and have shoulders the size of boulders, but he's cut up too -- which is good because 6-foot-7 power forwards better be able to slide their feet.

Right now Yabusele is developing on somebody else's payroll. If the 20-year-old can continue to improve his physique and grow his game, the Celtics will benefit from his year away.
