Need Oubre to have a good season shooting the ball or that spacing on the starting unit is going to be tough to work with. I mean, perhaps Green could randomly become a decent shooter again which would solve a lot of problems, but I doubt it.

Oubre is the real deal. Finding out more about his background and watching the 'mesh' occur on the court will be equally fascinating. I have followed this guys game for a number of years and he can get hot in a hurry. And while he's only scored 30pts+ four times over his career (three coming just last season), as a defense you can't ignore his presence on the court, nor his scoring abilities. I have high expectations that even with a little drop-off in productivity, Oubre will be significant part of the glue that continues to bind our Dubs!!! #strengthinnumbers #playforklay #rosterruminations #godubs #letsgowarriors

A little awkward ending with that last question on the Zoom presser, but I loved how thoughtful his replies are and how he doesn’t drop into cliche-speak. Obviously a very bright young man. I’ll bet Kerith pulls him out a lot for half-time and after-game chats.

Man, I hope it works out! He sure sounds like he wants to work out long-term as well.

Love that quote from Oubre in response to playing with Draymond. "bro, you can come at me. Like you can get on my ass and tell me that I need to be better, or I need to do better, and I won’t take it personally.’ Because I understand that that’s what it takes to win."

A lot of Dubs fans have pointed to Draymond's altercation with KD as an indicator that other stars also don't want to play with the Warriors because they don't want to be yelled at by Draymond. Oubre's response clearly shows that KD's isn't the only personality type in the league, and that other good players aren't as thin-skinned when responding to criticism from their teammates. I am positive that many other NBA players feel the same way as Oubre in regards to being willing to accept flak from teammates if it means getting better as a player and winning more as a team.
