On the surface, Kelly Oubre Jr. looks like a rental — a heavily-taxed one-year option to fill the hole left by Klay Thompson and maximize the Golden State Warriors chances of competing in the 2020-21 NBA season.
But he’s hoping it’s more than that.
Oubre has yet to don a Dubs jersey, and he’s already singing the praises of the organization, and noting how nice it is to be somewhere successful and functional. He’s only known NBA life on the Washington Wizards and Phoenix Suns, and neither team is a beacon of success or functionalism.
