Around ten days ago, the Phoenix Suns traded veteran forward Trevor Ariza to the Washington Wizards for Kelly Oubre Jr. I, for one, was ecstatic about the acquisition of this young man. I feel he can reach a whole new level here. And he may be starting to show that he will do just that.
We knew we were getting a young player that can cover multiple positions. We knew we were getting a player that has legit defense and is good at switching, which is ideal in Igor Kokoskov’s game plan.
We knew we were getting a player that’s shown offensive potential and has been stuck behind John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Otto Porter but now has a real chance to take a leap here after getting acclimated and adjusting to a new role.
