Oubre reveals player who has been toughest matchup in NBA

Kelly Oubre entered the NBA as the No. 15 overall pick in the 2015 draft.

As he begins his sixth season in the league -- and his first with the Warriors -- which player has been his toughest matchup so far?

When Oubre was asked that question on Showtime's "All the Smoke" podcast with former Golden State forwards Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, he wasted no time providing the answer.

"Jrue Holiday. Dude is a beast, man," he said. "He don't waste no movements, he's strong, and he's smart.

"I really salute to him. He's one of my favorite players in this league."

Considering how much Holiday, now with the Milwaukee Bucks, is respected by his peers, it's not a surprise Oubre said him immediately.
