Warriors to keep playing Kelly Oubre more with second unit
Golden State Warriors small forward Kelly Oubre will keep playing more with the second unit, head coach Steve Kerr said.
What It Means:
Kerr said he decided to flip Oubre and Andrew Wiggins in the rotation the last couple of days to get Oubre more run with the second unit. "Maybe activate him, get him more aggressive, get him more involved," Kerr said of the move. It resulted in a season-high 23 points from Oubre as he hit 9-of-18 from the field, including a pair of triples. Kerr said to expect more of the same on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs.
Oubre is averaging 25.2 FanDuel points per game while shooting a career-low 36.6 percent from the field, but over the last three, he's averaging 32.9 and shooting 46.2 percent.
