I think he’s an undersized SF more than anything. If he ever fixes that hitch or gets around 40% from 3 with his athleticism he could be a 2G.
The hitch is going to prevent him from ever getting serious NBA run along with his poor handle. If he comes back does the staff dare try to fix the hitch? It’s the single biggest thing he needs to fix in order to further a possible NBA career.
Doubt his shot is fixable. He's what, 23 years old? And even if he does fix it, what about his handle? And court vision?
He plays pretty good defense and plays tough so maybe he makes a roster but not sure- all the guys on an NBA roster are good so you better be ready when you try and make a team- way better players have never made an NBA roster- needs to work on his shot
The NBA is all about spacing and shooting. He needs to be able to hit an open jumper 40% of the time or better. But with no college responsibilities he could train full time. But I believe it would be at the g league level. That’s either this year or next.
Hell no that's disrespectful. He is a 2 guard for sure. He isn't that bad at handling the ball it needs to improve but saying he is a power forward is questionable at best. His ball handling is like an average small forward.
My guess would be the top 10-15 players in the top leagues would make 2 million or more. Which with NIL deals right now money wise seems a return to college without question is most of these guys best moves. Unless the player just does not want to return to college.
I think you are correct but he probably did that either way just to have everything ready, no matter his choice.
I agree with him. I don’t see Oweh as SEC player of the year. He missed a ton of layups last year. Can’t shoot contested, not a great defender.
Name me someone better? Averaged 16-17 on a sweet 16 team and some are acting like he isn’t great.
If he waits until June, I can 100% guarantee you he won’t be back at UK!
I should rephrase. If he improves he has a shot. He’s athletic, and has talent. I’m saying comparing him to the last 2 POY in the SEC in Clayton and Knect he’s a step down right now. Those guys were buckets. Who knows who might blow up. It might be Oweh. Let’s hope.
Guess I just assumed, My bad. whoever voted that is just stupid, dumb, ignorant and stupid.
The whole league is taking a step back this season, most likely. The SEC is losing two classes worth of Seniors (the regular Seniors and the COVID Seniors), so it’s going to be a little weaker this season.
The interesting thing about him is even though he averaged the most ppg and was the most consistent player on last year’s team, he was rarely the first option, with the exception of the Oklahoma games and maybe a couple others when injuries limited us. I would say Robinson and Butler were most often the number one guy when healthy, and sometimes Brea and even Williams took that role. It will be interesting if we come into this season with the notion Oweh is the leader of the team, how he’ll fare as the guy expected to lead the team every night.
Looking at who is returning, it’s either oweh(please return) or hubbard. I would take Oweh over Hubbard every day of the week
I could be wrong, but I think Pope did a good job of building a team that won't fall apart because of the loss of one player, injury, draft, or otherwise.
Poythress is making $1 mil a year now.
Robinson was the same way last year and when there wasn’t an announcement at exactly 12:01 a.m. , this board had an epic meltdown and many temper tantrums were thrown. He got called all kinds of names and we didn’t want him any way. Next morning, there’s an announcement he’s committed to UK.
The mid June date is the NBA deadline. To have college eligibility you have to be out by the end of the day Wednesday.
I hope not either. Would really make me question his want to be here.
