I admittedly didn’t know much about Kelly Oubre on draft night. The Kansas forward was supposed to get picked in the late lottery and the Washington Wizards were out of his range. In fact, he didn’t even work out for Washington’s brass during the predraft process.
Instead, I focused on learning about the likes of Bobby Portis, Kevon Looney and others that were projected to get picked in the late first round. So what did Ernie Grunfeld do? He moved up four spots and grabbed Oubre — a move that no one saw coming.
