Kelly Oubre and Nick Young are gifted, flashy players who were drafted midway through the first round of the NBA Draft by Wizards' GM Ernie Grunfeld. Based on this information, it's easy to jump to the conclusion they're essentially the same player, and thus, Oubre is headed down Young's career path which will inevitably end with Oubre firing up bad shots for a lottery team and trying to get R.Kelly to sing explicit songs at his wedding.
But as easy as it is to make that comparison, it's also wrong. Conor Dirks has already eloquently argued against labeling him a "knucklehead" at Truth About It) and now I think it's time to distinguish what makes him different from Nick Young.
