Kelly Oubre needs to temper the tsunami this season

Yet at some point, it has to translate to consistent production—otherwise he will join the long list of players with immeasurable potential who never quite lived up to expectations in Washington, D.C.

Kelly Oubre is an enigma—unlike any other the Wizards have ever had, and that’s saying something. But the difference between him and the others is his commitment—he wants to be great, and his work ethic reflects it.

This past summer, Oubre spent most of his time with Drew Hanlen, who’s become the go-to basketball trainer for the stars. He was credited for spicing up Bradley Beal’s game, helping him evolve into a pure scorer and not merely a stand-still shooter.
