I have a hard time seeing him out of the league but I could see him being a Wesley Johnson/Gerald Green type player that you always just want more from.

I would spend more time interviewing him and people around him than watching game tape. I don't think he's a bad kid per se but if he has that Nick Young not serious type attitude I don't want him.

Uhh, Gerald Green is a no defense chucker w/ extreme explosiveness. Oubre plays defense. I would say he is nothing like Green, right?

Oubre seems kind of like Lamb to me though.

Both have great length and are very good athletes (though not upper tier elite).
Both are pretty smooth offensively but struggle to really dominate a game consistently.
Neither are great ball-handlers or rim attackers and their offense focuses more around jumpers.

Lamb is probably a bit more athletic and Oubre has better size, but outside of that they seem pretty similar to me.

Was speaking in terms of both players have physical tools but green didn't have the work ethic early and may never have the brain to be a meaningful player.... Was not a comp to the type of games they have... Just that they both have amazing tools.

Umm, Green worked his way out of the D-League to a NBA roster.....

Why... Both have physical tools... Both have been around the league but you just thought they'd do more. Johnson was like 30 when he came into the league so it's not a direct comp just a guy who has height and wingspan who didn't achieve what nba types thought he would.

There are a lot of NBA players who have physical tools, that is why they are in the NBA.

Gerald Green was the 18th pick overall coming out of HS. Pretty sure he has succeeded career expectations usually associated with that draft slot.

Also, as I have questioned KKK many times, what basis do we have to question Oubre's work ethic? Oubre has been noted for his defensive improvement over the year, isn't that a testament to a "work ethic"?

I have a sense about these things. I hope I'm wrong, only time will tell.
