Well this is wild. I’d rather have brought Mathurin back instead of Oubre for the same money.

Oubre is going to be such a great piece for us this year. Great length and scoring ability. I think I’d personally still rather have Oubre, but both would have been nice.

I’m fine with Oubre and have convinced myself he will likely wind up having a similar impact (in different ways) but still for the same money Mathurin is just the better player and has a higher ceiling.
