Stat of the day: Kelly Oubre 0/31 on non-dunks (He finally hit a three)

SUPERVILLAIN · Post #1 » by **SUPERVILLAIN** » Sat Dec 26, 2020 5:01 am

Kelly Oubre during the first two games:
* Total: 4 FGM, 24 FGA (16.7%)
* Layups: 0/7
* Jump shots: 0/13
* Dunks 4/4

Oubre is in a super bad slump right now. It's actually amazing how bad he has been these first two games. To attempt that many shots and miss all the non-dunks? Including layups? Damn!

Poor man's Wiggins

He’s super streaky. Should improve but don’t expect too much, plenty of reasons why Suns didn’t pay him.

The amount of money they are paying for him and luxury tax is absolutely insane. He is an ok player but surprised they would pay so much for a very minimal improvement.

He's currently on the contract he signed with the Suns, which was used to acquire CP3.

It wouldn't bother me as much if he was missing good shots, but the guy jacks up terrible attempts one after another. He kills any flow of the offense.

The fact that he is an upcoming FA makes me think he's trying to inflate his scoring, which is dangerous. Also dangerous is playing this way next to Draymond, who will thrash him if he sees this kind of stupid selfishness happening.

That’s be interesting to see. Oubre doesn’t seem like the type to back down lol. And I agree he’s probably trying to get his stats up for the upcoming contract. Sometime that can work in a teams favor and other times it backfires.

Players like this should be ostracized in the league quickly. What a waste of talent. Seems pretty obvious just from the outside.

Probably drowning his sorrows in a foursome as we speak

He's got 5 years of never being good at basketball under his belt.

On the bright side, he can't really get any worse.

Right?

Seriously. I won't attack Curry for Warriors' two very bad losses. He got zero help. Totally zero.

Oubre is supposed to be the second or third on the roster. Now he can't score but dunks? Damn. Any star would struggle with a roster this bad.

Not the biggest Oubre fan, but he can be productive if he is used right. I think his best position is either a small ball 4 or a sixth man. I believe the Suns 5 of Rubio/Booker/Bridges/Oubre/Ayton had the highest +/- in the league last year.

I mean, he could start blowing the dunks too...

Wiggins and Oubre have both only ever looked good when they played with Ricky Rubio.
