Oubre:
He's improved so much. Watching the Oklahoma game on Monday and he's a completely different player than the guy that showed up in Lawrence. He's tougher, he's aggressive on defense, he's throwing himself on the floor and he's a very good shooter and finisher at the rim. Really just waiting on that mid-range game. Ton of credit to both Bill Self for having the leadership to sit an elite prospect like Oubre because he wasn't competiting like he needed to and to Oubre for responding by improving his game. One thing I'll say about Bill Self, almost all of the guys he gets improve under his watch. He develops players.

Alexander:
He's young so it's hard to see. I love that he has a NBA body, he's tough, aggressive and tries to dunk everything. He's a very good athlete and that motor helps. But he's pretty undersized and his basketball IQ is fairly low. I worry he might be a little less versatile Thomas Robinson. He's in the 20s on our Big Board and I think 15-25 is about right from what I've seen.
