Kelly Oubre Jr., male, born on December 9, 1995 in Bendburg, Texas, USA, he is known as the three young marshals of the NBA along with Doncic and Kuzma, nicknamed NBA Jia Nailiang. I think the deepest impression of domestic fans on him is the handsome appearance of the Chinese men's basketball team uniform at the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup. Today, let's take a look at this piece of jade.
In 2014, Oubre entered the University of Kansas, a major basketball school in the United States, and represented the University of Kansas in NCAA games, playing in 36 games, averaging 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game, and was named to the All-Rookie Team in the Big Twelve League.
Coming from a prestigious background, he was selected by the Hawks with the 15th pick in the first round in 2015 and traded to the Wizards, officially entering the NBA.
In the three seasons of the Wizards, Oubre gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game, and often played some wonderful games, daring to fight and dare to take responsibility, especially when his teammates were bullied, he was always the first to stand up, and the bloody shot of angry Olynyk also became a famous scene of the season. At that time, it felt that if this trend continued, Oubre would at least become a good team player no matter how bad he was, and if he was a little better, he would be an All-Star.
As a result, the Wizards, Grizzlies and Suns reached a three-way deal, with Trevo Ariza and the Grizzlies sending two second-round picks to the Wizards and Oubre to the Suns. At Phoenix, he grew up to be the representative of the league's younger generation, and on February 8, 2020, the Suns won 127-91 at home, with 39 points and nine rebounds, plus or minus +24, becoming the first Suns player to achieve this statistic since Amare Stoudemire in 2009. The Suns, bent on fighting for the championship, traded Oubre to the Thunder in order to get Paul, and the Thunder sent Oubre to the Warriors.
At first, he did not adapt to Kerr's system, shooting 4 percent from three-point range, and even received roars and criticism from Green, but he did not lose his confidence and cheerfulness, and on February 5, 2021, he became the third player in Warriors history to score 40 points in a single game plus hit seven three-pointers, and became the fifth player since Kerr took charge of the Warriors to score 40 points in a single game.
Clear-eyed people know that although the Warriors are good, they are not suitable for Oubre, so the two sides broke up friendly, Oubre joined the Hornets on a two-year contract, and the rest of the people know that the Hornets' outstanding record is inseparable from his excellent performance, and there is a young star in the league who is handsome and can play, and the balance of attack and defense is balanced.
In addition, Oubre is celebrating our 26th birthday tomorrow, and I wish you a happy birthday!
