Kelly Oubre Jr will be an X-Factor for the Sixers this Season…
One of the more surprising additions to the Sixers this offseason was Kelly Oubre Jr. Sean Barnard breaks down his takeaways from the first two preseason games as well as some notable comments from both Nick Nurse and Kelly himself. He specifically addresses the defensive end and why regardless he feels it was a good decision to bring Oubre in.

He has to start
Theres a legion of fans who stuck with Furkan & still till this day have him in their mentions
If you can stick with Furkan – Oubre should seem like AI 😅
Imo oubre is better than Maxey
What we are seeing this preseason w/ No embiid & Harden
Maxey doesn’t look as good
Embiid drawing triple team attention & harden double team attention can
make avg players look even better
Imagine oubre strengths on the court w/ the space embiid would provide
He has ballhandling – athleticism- gets hot on 3s and on defense length that Maxey does not have
Playing with Reed or bamba is not like playing with embiid backing u up
Intimidating offensive players going to rim
Needed KO last year , wouldn't have quit. Bev also. Definitely upgrade from McDaniel. So Tru
Sean your videos are always Barn Burners. Right on the 76
Sixers The fans want to see good Shooters on the court, I hope the team is better, The fans want a Championship, Philadelphia is a Championship city, We want the best Players out there , 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Sixer We want the best starters on the court, Please get rid of PJ Tucker and Tobias 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Lol I think you’re taking his standing out comment out of context.
I'm sorry to Enlighten you but korkmaz is a better ball-handler he is a better facilitator he's a better shooter and his defense is probably on par with tell you brakes so what are you talkin about
Sixers would like to be as slow and old as possible
Ok
Oubre got to start
Been wanting oubre on this squad he’s a beast low key he can score 40-50 any given night !
Got rid of a mad doctor, for a nurse
I want to see Kelly start over PJ or even Tobias 😮😂 but I do worry about the defense dropping although PJ is slower. Kelly is much more of an offensive punch and taller and more athletic. However I do worry who will score for us off the bench then???
I mean maybe the hornets chose not to pay him, or other teams didn’t want to risk it because of him scoring a lot on a crappy team. I do think on some level he chose this opportunity to a) be on a contender since he’s been on non playoff teams for almost his whole career and want to dismantle that narrative and motivate himself b) we had a need for a wing and are a regular playoff team and he saw opportunity to maybe start eventually c) our free agents this year did well in free agency – Niang, Matisse, Paul reed, shake all got paid pretty well in free agency. I do think it’s a smart choice for him. Stay in the hornets and get paid another 20 million for two years or go to a contender show out and try to land a 3 year contract for like 60 million after this year? Or maybe he just wants a shot at winning for once. Porzinigis is thriving due to this reason.
And having watched his interviews what he meant by that comment was he doesn’t like to “fit in” and wants to be an individual. I think he meant more hypothetical not on the basketball court
