10 Rising Stars in Asia in 2021-Yousef Khayat (Lebanon)

Lebanon basketball fans were all waiting for Khayat to make his debut ever since the Asia Cup Qualifiers. So when that didn’t happen, they just had to wait a little bit longer.

It certainly felt worth the wait when Khayat took the court against Indonesia and proceeded to show the world why he’s one of Asia’s most promising young talents. Mixing his combination of size and speed, Khayat dazzled for 12 points in his debut, highlighted by some quality dunks.

We’re pretty certain that Khayat will have some bigger performances down the road, but his first game right out of the gates will have certainly turned some heads.
