He’s not drafted at all. He’s a SG with sub-par handles, sub-par 3-pt shooting, and, at best, average athleticism for an NBA SG. A GM would get fired for drafting someone like that.
That's harsh but you're right. The NBA has changed a lot in the past 10 years or so and you've got to be able to shoot now if you're a guard. When it was hand-to-hand combat years ago, you could get away with being a non-shooter. Not now.

I didn’t mean it being mean. I’m glad as hell that Oweh could come back. His current skill set just doesn’t match what the NBA does.

Not even news. This is just his chance to say officially something he’s already said unofficially.

Oweh is a nice college player who I want to come back to UK, but he isn't close to being NBA ready. Way too often, I thought he played out of control at times when driving to the basket.

The hidden recruiting season begins. If RJ Luis wants to committ tomorrow do you take him? This kind of stuf can have ripple effects.then there the money. Oweh needs to decide real quick imo or it’s going to throw off our roster for next year

It’ll be about par for the course if he stays in the draft. Picked a great day to announce it as well. Smh

We are thinking very much alike. I think Oweh screwed the program by waiting until now to make his announcement. I think he purposely waited for some of the bigger names to leave the portal before his announcement for selfish reasons. If there is a chance to get someone as good or better, I would take that person and let Oweh figure it out. It is unlikely this is a family financial decision because his brother is in the NFL, so he could have waited another year.

What an insane set of thought processes to publicly display

When you are capable of generating a thought, it will be your first. There is no way that Oweh didn't realize until today that he wanted to do this. He knew what he wanted to do before the season was over. So, why did he wait until now to do it?

Right now he is a second round pick. He will try to see if can get on a good team as late first rounder .

If he doesn’t work out, he will be definitively welcomed back at Kentucky and he knows it.


OWehhhhh. Oweeeeh!

Yes, that is one thing he has to improve upon next year. Can’t just barrel to the basket and flip something up.

I don’t see any way he’s drafted at all, let alone in the first round. He had some great games, but he’s simply not an NBA player right now.

Panic time again I see!!!!

Oweh testing draft waters, in a draft that no expert has in either round, UK fans HE GONE!!! UK missed on a combo guard on the same day, UK Fans: it is over. We are doomed. Pope has his ivy wreath on his head, toga on, fiddle in had, Rome is burning and Cal got 2 guys that are average players tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

Your take is correct. He doesn't shoot well enough right now and his ball handling skills need improvement. That's the reason Brea is on the draft board right now and he isn't.

Another year of seasoning and he could be potential All American and a first round pick.

I agree and I lost count on how many wild shots he put up this year that didn't even hit the rim. You have to finish at the next level.
