Kelly Oubre Jr. Providing Long Lost Element for Sixers Kelly Oubre Jr. giving Sixers offensive life off the bench

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM

Excellent off bench despite loss Oubre ended with 27 points (9-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Oubre was outstanding in his Sixers debut, and despite the fact he came off the bench, he was highly efficient and finished as the team's second-best scorer. It would be a stretch to expect Oubre to score around 20 points per game, especially if he comes off the bench, but he should score enough to remain valuable across all fantasy formats. Due to his offensive-minded profile, he's going to get minutes and chances to make an impact as a scorer.

Moves back to bench Oubre isn't in the starting five for Friday's preseason game versus the Hawks, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact Oubre will be replaced by P.J. Tucker in the starting lineup in Friday's preseason finale. Oubre is expected to be one of Philadelphia's first options off the bench at the forward position this season.

Impressive against Brooklyn Oubre accounted for 21 points (9-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks across 33 minutes in Monday's 127-119 preseason win over the Nets.

Impact Oubre can make a huge impact as a scoring weapon regardless of his role, as he averaged a career-high 20.3 points per game with Charlotte during the 2022-23 season. Given the Sixers' depth, however, he's slated to open the season as the go-to scorer of the second unit, a role in which he's also flourished in the past.
