Joseph Yesufu - Records five rebounds Yesufu logged five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across his 23 minutes during Washington State's 84-59 win Monday against Idaho.
Impact On Monday, Yesufu's best accomplishment was the five rebounds, a feat he achieved only once during both his 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. Should the redshirt senior continue to be part of Washington State's starting lineup, he is expected to accomplish more than what fantasy managers would have usually expected from him. After all, Yesufu was never a regular starter during his seasons with Drake and Kansas.
