NBA: Predicting where the top 20 2021 free agents will sign
14. Kelly Oubre Jr.
Kelly Oubre Jr. was traded to the Golden State Warriors last offseason as they hoped he’d be a strong replacement for Klay Thompson. Even though it was unfair to expect Oubre to fill that role, he still somewhat was a disappointing pick-up for Golden State.
Still, heading into the offseason, Oubre will likely be one of the most sought-after middle-class free agents on the open market. He’s supremely athletic and is still young. The best basketball of his career is likely still ahead of him and if he can find the right landing spot, he could excel during the second phase of his career.
I expect Oubre to take free agency very seriously and I believe he’s going to look for the right organization this summer, one that will put him in the best position to be successful. I think San Antonio might be the perfect fit.
Prediction: San Antonio Spurs
