McLemore was always a doofus. Oubre seems like a good enough dude. That is totally only based on watching him on the court so I could be totally wrong.
we were already close, but yeah... can never be too close.

Nah, One Love has a knackkk for these things.
Haha.. I've been on record as saying I'd draft Oubre if he falls to #12 ... I still don't think he'll fit into our group, but the talent level / potential that he possess is too much to pass up at #12.
Draft him, see how he fits would be my strategy. DL mentioned this during his last interview, that if you take a guy who has some character issues and put him into a good environment/situation, sometimes that player can start to thrive. Not sure if he was referring to anybody specifically but seems to me Oubre would fit that description.
I've said before, I think Oubre is going to be good. His demeanor looks like he's a bit infatuated with himself, like he loves TV air time, but you look at how hard he's playing now and I don't think it's too detrimental. He plays like a smart player. He's just young and immature. A lot of 19 year-olds in that situation would be the same.
However, if you draft Oubre, you're basically drafting him to take some of Rodney Hood and Joe Ingles' minutes. We're going to have a log-jam when Burks is back.

I think realistically, Johnson could be a slightly rich man's David West. I wouldn't call him a wing in the traditional sense, but more of a combo-forward.
