Oweh has Turf toe, JLow is in a lot of pain you could see that during Louisville game, and JQ is out, also someone else looks to be hobbling a bit but I won’t jinx it. The team isn’t healthy at all. Tried to say this over and over after the UL game. It wasnt a coach thing, it was a INJURY problem. That’s why they looked like they got punked to Louisville. They didn’t. Deer in the headlights because they knew they couldn’t keep up. Anyone who’s played knows what that looks like. Guys like Owen and MO don’t get punked 3 minutes into a game. It was OBVIOUS.

So yes again this team isn’t 100% at all. That includes Oweh. We all want them to cut this sht out but acting like a guy like Owen doesn’t give a **** isn’t accurate. If you don’t get it then just listen. His makeup wouldn’t allow for what you think you’re seeing.

I just wonder if it's his confidence, Keith Bogans struggled his entire junior year after flirting with the NBA draft. You have to think, Otega found out he has to completely reinvent himself or he's never making it to the league.n
Oweh is a good college player but not sure he has the outside shot the NBA wants out players like him to make it to the league.

If he does this against MSU then I wouldn’t start him next game. He seems to have it in his head that he needs to play different to make the nba but he’s doing nothing but kill his stock and our team’s potential.

Ok. Let’s assume you’re correct. But why is the team so banged up. Last year too. Why why why

I really think he’s in pain. There was a few times tonight I noticed he was making a face in pain. I don’t know for sure if he was limping but it seemed like he was favoring his foot a couple times. Hope he gets back to being what we know he can be.

No doubt he has turf toe but I also think he is not sticking to his role last year and trying to be more of an outside shooter.

Two things can be true simultaneously. Pope definitely alluded to Oweh needing to embrace what makes him special. But he also doesn’t have the same burst and injuries like that make you look like you aren’t playing hard. Might make taking those threes a little more alluring to him if he knows there will be pain on that drive.

2nd half.... When he came out really attacking the basket... On like his 3rd drive.... He landed.. And was holding his back.... He went out shortly after that.... Didn't come back in for a while

Because stuff happens in sports. So many angry people casting around looking for someone to BLAME. Maybe just maybe the physical nature of sports is to blame, certainly not the kid himself. Do you really think any of them WANT to be injured.

That family is set for life. His brother is making big money. He’s good. I’d tell him. Run it back to who you were last year or your riding the bench

It’s not just his shooting that will keep him out of the league. He can’t handle the ball.

He can’t/wont pass.

He is a very good college player. And that’s what we need him to be.

He'll never have a extended career in the NBA, his handles still isn't what they should be for a 2g, hes a lil undersized for a 2 in the NBA, and his shot isn't nearly good enough to keep him in the league.
He'll play pro ball in Europe is my guess. He'll probably do well there.
In the meantime he needs to get out of his own head and play team ball.

His brother is set for life, but that doesn't mean he's going to shovel money to his little bro for life.
If that's how it worked, I'd need to have a talk with my brother. I don't think that will go over very well though.
