#3 Kelly Oubre Jr.

Kelly Oubre Jr. is possibly the best two-way player starting on the bench in the NBA, currently. He made his name at Kansas and his first couple of seasons with the Washington Wizards primarily as a defensive stopper, and the uptick that we've seen in his offensive production warrants his placement at #3 on this list.

Oubre has the ability to guard four positions on the floor, and he often does that to close out games for the Wizards. Oubre has season stats of 11.9 points and 4.5 rebounds on shooting percentages of 40.8% and 33.8% from the field and from 3-point territory - he could improve both figures handily without much effort.
