As the best remaining free agent came off the board when PJ Washington agreed to a three-year, $48M extension, an argument could be made that the title shifted to another 2022-23 Hornet; the king of vibes and timely celebrations, Kelly Oubre Jr.
Now that Washington has been retained, there are zero restricted free agents left on the market and many of the players currently left unsigned are aging veterans or fringe players fizzling out of the league.
Oubre is one of the select few who doesn’t fall into either of those buckets as he seeks a deal commensurate with his per-game averages of 20.
