Like other KU Jayhawks who have preceded him to the NBA, Kelly Oubre is a proven college star with an NBA game. He was a solid performer at both ends of the court and is dedicated to improving offensively off of the dribble. His defensive game, with a wingspan and lateral quickness is menacing. His game is run-run-run, at the moment, and he will need to develop a pull-up jumper. This year he rebounded 10 shots per 40 minutes and this caught the eye’s of the scouts. Furthermore, scouts love his work ethic and feel that he will become solid addition to anyone’s roster. He shot 41 percent from two, 37 percent from three and possesses a fluid lefty release. Also, the word is he is very coach-able.
Kelly Oubre’s Stat Line for 2014-2015
