To help readers get to know top NBA draft prospects, Insider offers a 360-degree look at many of them in a concise and thorough scouting report featuring three expert perspectives: Kevin Pelton (analytics), Fran Fraschilla (scouting) and Chad Ford (NBA front offices). Here's a look at former Kansas wing Kelly Oubre.

The analytics perspective
After a slow start that had him on the fringes of Bill Self's rotation in November, Oubre settled into a fairly typical freshman season for a one-and-done wing prospect. While it's difficult to find a good comparison for some prospects, Oubre has seven players with a similarity score of 90 or higher. Their NBA production runs the gamut, from All-Star Luol Deng to failed lottery pick Xavier Henry, but most of the group developed into quality starters, and in time Oubre figures to do the same.
