In The Flight of the Conchords’ 2013 sneaky classic ballad, Pencils in the Wind, they remind us that love is the greatest adhesive of all adhesives. For the Phoenix Suns, Kelly Oubre Jr. is the sticky stuff.
Last December, the Suns traded malcontent and neck tattoo pioneer, Trevor Ariza, for fellow malcontent Austin Rivers and the spunky 6-foot-7 swingman with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, Kelly Oubre Jr.
Rivers never played a game for the Suns, but Oubre made a bit splash. It wasn’t just spunk and length the Suns got with Oubre, they got youth too.
