Analytically he comes off very empty stat ish. Statistically he isn't a strong enough shooter if that was his role. He isn't a strong enough defender if that is his role. And he isn't an efficient enough scorer if that is his role. Doesn't generate much assist so also isn't going to be a play maker.

Even with all that at 25 and Thibs as the coach at the right price he could be worth a gamble as he was a lottery talent. So if it was a 1+1(TO)type deal he could maybe be worth a shot.

Rather have Fournier though if the bigger pieces aren't able to be obtained. More proven, more consistent, more skilled ball handling and shooting compliment next to RJ.

Same here, He was brutal the first month of the season and warrior fans were killing him.

Somehow he always seem to play well against the knicks

He is a risk/reward player. Unclear to me if he has mental game to be a star, but the physical skill set is solid. Question I would want to ask Johnnie Bryant is -- what would you do with this player? Feels like the kind of player with a few tweaks could be trained to be a championship caliber stopper.

I see him as an upgrade to Bullock but what Reggie bought was a maturity and intensity forged not just from being an NBAplayer but from life. There is an intangible that he commands respect on and off the court. He is not great but works on this team.
If Oubre wants to fuss with his hair, party, be a celebrity thats fine as long as the intensity is there and he can handle Thibs and what this team is creating.

We focus on Randles turnovers and his playoff performance but in the aftermath we are forgetting his leadership qualities on and off the court and how he worked in the culture showing the young guys how to do it. Randle has been married since college and has the cute sone. If its a good marriage he demonstrates a mature/commitment. Not to say young singles guys need to settle down. Is Oubre the kind of kid after he got a nice contact going to follow the guys that went to the game after a flight to a road game or go “out”? Again, not all of these kids need to do that but if you have a core doing it and some are not it will affect your locker room at some point if your not doing the job. As fans we want those guys. That might be a bit asking too much. A guy like Westbrook might not do that but he brings it in other ways. Is Oubre garnering respect or just a super talented fun boy? Someteams can take on those types better than others. How did he did in GSW in that culture? Was he there as trade fodder or sub until Klay got back and thus it was ok? Would SAS or Miami take him given their culture? Could he play with Jimmy Butler intensity or Thibs up his ass all the time? For all we know he can get paid, have a great life playing well and not deal with it.

when i've seen oubre i've liked him but he is NOT what we need. We don't need another slasher type even with D. We need reliable high quality shooting, and a reliable pg who can attack and shoot.

You think Berman is bias, why would you hate a guy who's reporting Knick News

Do we have any slashers on this team other than RJ, on a good day Kelly can shoot, defend, slash, put the ball on the floor, he's also 6 7" and can guard multiple position.

last season Bullock and Rj shoot like crap, this yr..night and day

The hate on this board for guys like Oubre and Ball appears to be that they aren’t Lebron.

I don’t have Oubre at a Randle level when we signed him, but he’s in the same tier. I don’t know enough about him to know if he can take the next step the way Randle did. I just know his physical qualities (and 7’3 wingspan) make him a great candidate for wing defense. If the Knicks feel they can get that 3 pt up to snuff, he’s be a bargain. Especially since his penetration is solid. Depending on what other moves they make this offseason, he could fit really well. If they managed to add Ball, Oubre and Powell on contracts that make sense, they would have a much deeper rotation than they had this year.

Yes. 7’3 wingspan. That’s close to Mitchell Robinson’s (7’4)

for the record i hate berman; i said i liked oubre just not on our current team. if there were a search button you could find me advocating for him when he was on Wizards. We have bigger priorities
