Oweh is not an NBA player. Not now or next year.


He can’t shoot, he can’t handle the ball, doesn’t pass or create for others and he’s not overly athletic. He’s strong and can jump high.

But that didn’t help him on layups.



He’s a small forward in a point guard body.

He’s a damn fine college player. He’s just not an NBA player.

That doesn’t mean a team wouldn’t draft him. That happens all the time.

Usually it’s on a younger guy that they just don’t know. They know Oweh.

He is absolutely athletic enough for the NBA. I agree his handling needs some work, he wasn't really asked a whole lot to create for others as one of our primary scoring options. His 3 point % isn't as terrible as people think. He shot 35.5% from behind the arc and there's no reason why he can't improve that. He's also a good defender.

How many 1000’s of guys are athletic enough for the NBA that aren’t in the NBA?

He’s athletic at 6’4”. He’s not a freak athlete as compared to the NBA guys.

He’s certainly athletic compared to college guys. He’s a very good college player. He is not an NBA player.

He is the player he is. He doesn’t have great basketball instincts. He doesn’t handle the ball well at all. He doesn’t have quick release. He doesn’t shoot off the dribble. He is a decent catch and shoot player. But they leave him open in college.

He can get a 3 anytime he wants it because the scouting report is to let him have it and shade his right hand.

If the NBA wanted him he would already be there.

Per Johnathon Wasserman Oweh is now projected to be the very last pick (59) of the draft. Let the worriers kick into overdrive.

I don’t think he leaves without a first round guarantee. Obviously he could get a Chris Livingston type deal in the second round but he will make more next year coming back.

He wont get a Livingston type deal because Livingston had a lot of potential and was a freshman, NBA aint gonna see as much potential in a junior. Basically it was a team that felt Livingston was worth a first round pick in their eyes and gave him that type of deal and it just wont be the same with Oweh.

I think it will be really interesting to see how he does in the combine playing against other dudes of comparable athleticism.
That may be the difference in him returning or leaving. The kid has skills. They just need to be refined. That's not to say some NBA GM sees qualities they like and take a shot at him. I'd say he will be in the Gleague if someone rolls the dice. They may be enough for him to give it a go.
I hope he comes back though. He's a key piece for us next year.

He’s a damn fine college player. But so were Wayne Turner and Jeff Sheppard.

I could go on and on.

He doesn’t have an NBA game and he’s already been in college what, 4 years?

I agree, just saying it’s possible. Like I said I think he easily returns.
