The Phoenix Suns traded for Kelly Oubre Jr. from the Washington Wizards earlier this week and the newest Sun will officially be suiting up for the team’s matchup against the Boston Celtics.
At just 23-years-old, Oubre was drafted two picks after Devin Booker in the 2015 NBA draft. Oubre should fit in well with the rest of the Suns roster as Candace Buckner, who covers the Wizards for the Washington Post, compared him to one of his newest teammates.
“Oubre is very much like [Mikal] Bridges, in the sense that he’s a budding 3-D guy,” Buckner said.
