Kelly Oubre Jr. remains a key project for Washington Wizards

There is a question in the NBA about where responsibility for developing talent rests.

Annually, the NBA draft becomes a what-if corralling of often raw talent. This player spent one year in school, but has a massive wingspan and athletic family. This one just started basketball when he was 16. This one has a broken part of his game that can be fixed in the NBA. Projections and rationales abound.

Once that’s over, who then is responsible for converting a player from project to polished? Him? His coaches? His personal trainers?
