CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kelly Oubre was describing the nuances of drawing contact on drives to the basket when he took a peek to his right and noticed LaMelo Ball waiting nearby.
“I think it’s just that refs see how we look, you know what I mean?” the Charlotte Hornets swingman said with a smile Tuesday while looking slyly in Ball’s direction. “They are like, ‘They are pretty boys, man. They’ll be all right. They can take a little beating.’ But man, we be getting fouled more than anybody else. It’s just what it is.”
Oubre chuckled, enjoying a fun moment following the Hornets’ first training camp practice leading into Sunday’s preseason opener in Boston. Jokes aside, Oubre’s observation is something to keep a watchful eye on in Ball’s third NBA season.
