When Washington Wizards guard John Wall left Reebok and joined Adidas several years ago, we all got the sense that his star was going to start shining a lot brighter.

Wall, who’s since starred in a number of Adidas commercials and even has a few signature shoes with the company (one that will be released very soon), has become one of the faces of the company’s basketball division.

The Wizards, like virtually every team in the league, probably want as much exposure as they could get. While most of their exposure will come in the form of winning basketball games, having high-profiled players certainly doesn’t hurt.

Wall and Bradley Beal are two of the most popular players on the roster, but the Washington Wizards also have a number of prospects on the team that will eventually get their shine.

Kelly Oubre Jr., whom the Wizards traded up for in this year’s NBA Draft, has all the potential to become a star at the next level.

Oubre — a long, athletic wing who has the tools to succeed in the new small-ball system that the Wizards want to put in place — could become the next “star” in the nation’s capital if all goes according to plan.

Today, it was announced that the rookie forward, along with Celtics guard Terry Rozier, will be joining the Adidas basketball family via press release:

“Kelly and Terry are outstanding athletes with incredible passion for the game and unique style off the court,” said Chris Grancio, adidas global basketball general manager. “We’re moving in a new direction, and adding the best young talent is essential to building a successful future. We’re excited to welcome them both to the adidas Basketball family.”

With Wall and Oubre together in the Adidas family, the Wizards could have two of the faces of the company in the not too distant future. Wall has become a top player in the league and he’s undoubtedly the best point guard in the Eastern Conference.

Oubre obviously still has a lot left to prove, but he does have the talent to become a spectacular player soon. His work-ethic and drive separate him from the rest of the competition, and I’m sure that played a part in Adidas’ decision to have him join their team.

If Oubre does live up to his potential, don’t be surprised to see him rockin’ his own signature shoe. How cool would it be to see both Wall and Oubre in a commercial together?

It’s taken some time, but the Washington Wizards have put together a marketable group of players. That’s something that we should all be proud of.
