The Washington Wizards moved up in the 2015 NBA Draft to snag Kelly Oubre – a Kansas wing often likened to Trevor Ariza.
Having failed to re-sign Ariza, the Wizards wanted to replace the veteran wing with a younger version of himself – someone who might not be able to contribute right away, but would have the potential to make a similar impact on the court in the future. Oubre, like Ariza, is a long, tenacious defender, with even greater upside than his predecessor.
The development - the dream - never panned out.
