If Tyrese Maxey was the great man of the victory of the Sixers before the Lakers, in the absence of Joel Embiid and Paul George, the leader was also well assisted by Kelly Oubre Jr. The Philadelphia winger finished with 20 points (8/18 shots, 0/5 from afar), 8 rebounds and 5 assists in 39 minutes.
It was his third outcome at 20 or more points. After a slightly slow start to the season, with address concerns, the left -hander is gaining momentum. Even if it is still struggling to convert behind the arc, it runs at 17 points (46.5%) and 7.5 rebounds on average in January.
Also, if Kelly Oubre Jr. settled so well in the five of his team, it is also for its impact on the other side of the field.
“” It took him a little time to understand where he was and what was his situation. We asked him, above all, to start defending, to be an important element of our defense, because he has talent, the qualities to do so, and once again, it took time. There were ups and downs, but I think that for the most part, it has integrated “, Compliment Nick Nurse.
An integration started a year earlier, when he had joined Pennsylvania at the minimum wage, for a 15 -point season on average and a rare (for him) appearance in playoffs, before signing a good extension last summer of 16 million dollars over two years.

“” He was happy to be here. We were happy that he was there. He tries to continue to define his role, and it's difficult. I continue to say that he is his best with Joel. He is so threatening when it comes to cutting in the circle. […] The fact of not being again in this role leads to ups and downs, but overall, when we have difficult times, he and me, or the team and he, we always try to remedy it , and we generally succeed “, Continues his coach.
Despite this vagueness which can surround its role, the 15th choice of the 2015 draft arises as an essential element among the Sixers this season. While the executives multiply the passages to the infirmary, he is the most tenured player (38 games) and the one who played the most games (41) behind Guerschon Yabusele (42).
“” I can do many things, everything you need. I am a winner. Honestly, coming in an organization that wins like this puts things in perspective. I filmed at 20 points on average, I did things that all those capable of scoring did. But in the end, I am more than a simple scorer. I have energy, I am a defender and I can also mark. I simply try to be an individual and a complete player ”, he said recently.
