Like Johnson, needs to work on his handles and his passing and his touch at the rim, but while Johnson is stronger from Day 1, Oubre is a better shooter from Day 1, and I'll always bet on the shooter.

I also just really like how he responded to his terrible start to the season and the absolute chewing out he received from Self on the regular. Many players who knew they'd be one and done would use this as an opportunity to check out mentally, but he worked really hard to improve, and he had some truly impressive games.

It'll be a couple of years until we see what he will be, and I'm sure Johnson's stats will probably be better as a rookie. But he should be an effective shooter/scorer for years once he "gets it," a good piece on a good team. He's slipped out of the lotto in some mocks, which I think is pretty nuts.
