I admittedly didn’t know much about Kansas forward Kelly Oubre prior to last night’s NBA Draft. Washington was in the middle of another NBA Playoff run and I focused on learning more about prospects that would’ve been available with their 19th overall selection.
I watched Bobby Portis, Kevon Looney, Justin Anderson and others play. I read about them too. I didn’t focus on Kelly Oubre, because, well, he wasn’t expected to be available.
Washington’s brass didn’t expect the former college standout to be available, neither.
Ernie Grunfeld tried to get Oubre in for a work out during the pre-draft process, but things didn’t go as planned.
