Kelly Paul Oubre Jr. (born December 9, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the University of Kansas before being selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 15th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft.
Oubre was born in New Orleans, Louisiana but moved to Richmond, Texas after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Oubre attended George Bush High School in Fort Bend, Texas before transferring to Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada for his senior season.
In October 2013, Oubre committed to playing for the Kansas Jayhawks in 2014–15.
As a freshman at Kansas in 2014–15, Oubre was twice named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week and subsequently earned All-Newcomer Team honors. He also earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors. In 36 games (27 starts) for the Jayhawks in 2014–15, Oubre averaged 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 21.0 minutes per game.
On April 1, 2015, Oubre declared for the NBA draft, forgoing his final three years of college eligibility.
On June 25, 2015, Oubre was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 15th overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft. His draft rights were then traded to the Washington Wizards in exchange for the draft rights to the 19th pick, Jerian Grant, and two second round draft picks. On July 9, he signed his rookie scale contract with the Wizards and joined the team for the Las Vegas Summer League, where he averaged 16.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in six games. On November 6, 2015, Oubre was fined $15,000 by the NBA for making an obscene gesture while on the sidelines during the Wizards' 102–99 win over the San Antonio Spurs two nights prior. Later that night, Oubre played his first significant minutes of his career, recording seven points, two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes of action, as the Wizards were defeated by the Boston Celtics, 118–98. On December 16, he scored a season-high 18 points in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
