Is Oweh’s return less likely ?

No doubt. It's EVERY players dream to make it into the NBA.
But, I don't see ANY NBA GM seeing enough in Oweh "that makes his ears perk up". Just too many flaws in his game right now. But another year at UK as option #1, with MUCH better players around him, and he could become an ALL-American if he can improve his 3 pt shot and finish in traffic better. The G-League would NOT help his exposure at all.
Yeah him adding a 7’1 white guy from Lexington is a clear sign Oweh is staying in the draft. Just coming on here to yap and stir crap up is all you ever do.
He was the 59th pick in a mock draft today. The OP just wants to stir crap up, he isn’t a Kentucky fan.
Now wny would his brother have to give him money. Do you think he spent his 1 mil from last year already, free room and board by UK so i think he did alright.
I really like Owehs game and certainly hope he is back next year. That being said his game doesn’t translate to the next level at this stage and honestly may never. Hes not a great outside shooter and has a very slow release on his shot compared to others at his position. Not sure his shooting will improve enough to ever make that leap but greater strides have been made.
While I also think he returns, his character or loving his UK experience has little nothing to do with going pro or not.
It is more likely about if he can impress enough to get a guaranteed contract or not.
Now that I have seen some of the other threads the OP has started, the picture has become pretty clear. I get it now.
"He Mr. Omaha, you just won the $70,000,000.00 powerball, how do you feel? "
Omaha: "sick to my stomach, this is way too much money and now I have to pay more taxes, hire an accountant and buy new things… this sucks"

There was an article saying he was projected 2nd round by some source. I didn’t pay too close attention to it. And I’m think he may still be back. But if not, good for him for making the best decision for himself and following his dream. But obviously Pope would have a contingency plan
Only first rounders have a guaranteed contract and the last pick of the first round made 2.07 million last year. That is significantly less than what he would make here. So unless he is at least guaranteed by a team to be a top 20 pick I don't see him going. With that said I think his outside shot needs work as does his finishing around the rim before any team would make that promise to him.
That’s really presumptuous to think just because his brother is in the nfl that Otega is supported by him. I certainly don’t foot the bill for my siblings’ existences.
I think when we see you think, it's about a coin flip as to whether you have it correct or not... not very good results.
I think the message you quoted actually agrees with you...
it's saying that players who are more desperate for money are often trying to take care of family (parents, etc). However, since Otega's brother is already a pro athlete, there is probably less need for Otega to take care of his parents financially, so he won't have to just chase a bag. Now, he may still turn pro if he decides that is what is best, but it is less likely he feels he HAS to do so just because his family is relying on it.
Plays for the Suns, G League mostly.
2.2 pts. 1 board, 1 assist on the year 31% from the field( ouch).
That is false. A good bit of 2nd round picks are getting guaranteed contracts. Some are getting 2 way deals with guaranteed money. If Oweh can somehow get to the top 45 projected, I think the threat is real that he won’t be back.
This is a good draft for SG/SF, but I believe Otega will make it into the top 40-45 picks.
Most of our posters think Oweh is sure to return, I’m saying there is a greater chance of him staying in the draft right now. Hope I’m wrong, I really enjoy watching him play.
If you can get a guaranteed contract I think you got to go, if not then back to school and take the 2M or so.
Going to be a exciting next few weeks that affects a lot of teams.
Good thing is right now it's not like the end of the season if people stay in the draft.
I'm sure most programs are already planing for anything that happens.
You still have people in the portal, and the people that drop out of the draft.

I doubt that. He’s so physical . And with his drive and athleticism he has a chance. Needs to improve his shot.
I misspoke when I said only first rounders have a guaranteed contract. Second rounders may get a contract but aren't guaranteed to get one like a first rounder guy. The collective bargaining agreement mandates all first rounders get a contract but 2nd rounders it is optional if the team gives a contract or not and what the length of the contract will be.
Said from the beginning Oweh won’t be back. To the ones saying he doesn’t have a chance yall are absolutely crazy. If he comes back that’s just a bonus. To good to be true imo. Would be to loaded.
This is the thing that drives me bonkers. I just checked all the reputable (not to be confused with "some guy on Twitter or YouTube") sites...he's 59th on CBS. So, the last pick on one board. I swear, some people have a hard time grasping this.
If you're "seeing it"...Would you mind sharing what you're seeing with the rest of us?
Yeah, but that won't stop the narrative some seem to have with this. It's so weird.
There is absolutely ZERO chance he makes top 40. He'd have to jump 30-40 spots to get there. That's not going to happen. There are three years of data and film on what he can do. A few days at the combine aren't going to change that much.
Shedeur Sanders thought he was going #1 and went fifth round. Do mock drafts really mean anything? It’s like whoever they have winning the championship before the season starts. Means nothing
