Washington Wizards should bring back this 20 points-per-game scorer

Kelly Oubre Jr. might be the most under-the-radar 20 points-per-game scorer in NBA history. Somehow, the former Wizard is still unemployed after averaging 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in 32 minutes per game last season with the Charlotte Hornets. The Washington Wizards should try to take advantage of this market inefficiency and sign the underrated wing.

Oubre Jr. was drafted by the Washington Wizards with the 15th-overall-pick in the 2015 NBA Draft and played 3.5 seasons with the team until he was traded to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Trevor Ariza. He was a key contributor in two playoff runs with the Wizards in 2017 and 2018.
