Kelly Oubre Jr.'s driving is making a difference for Sixers' offense

Kelly Oubre Jr. quickly became popular in Philadelphia. His scoring, attitude, and general skillset and athleticism felt like a breath of fresh air for a Sixers wing rotation that has so often been slow and underwhelming in previous years.

Oubre's driving ability has always been evident. His explosiveness, good size at 6-foot-7, and eagerness to dunk on opponents at any opportunity has always stood out on a team that's so often lacked good wing play (let alone athletic wing play), but his talent as a driver in particular has stood out more in recent weeks.
