Kelly Oubre Jr. could’ve been the future but was likely part of the problem, which is also part of ‘the problem’.
On draft night 2015, the Wizards sent their 19th pick (Jerian Grant) to the Knicks, the Knicks sent Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Hawks, and Atlanta sent their 15th pick (Oubre) to Washington, as well as netting two second round draft picks from the Wizards in return. Fresh out of Kansas, Grunfeld’s selection creeped out of left field but seemed to tease with overly youthful and untamed 3&D potential. When the Wave Papi was locked-in, he could guard anyone from Isiah Thomas (when he was good with the Celtics) to trying his best to check LeBron.
