Rob Dauster Highlights Otega Oweh’s Lack of Effort

Wow. Didn’t even turn to look at his man. I mean just bench him. Like zero minutes
Here’s another gem from Oweh:
SMFH someone needs to forward this to his Twitter and his Instagram. Then take away his payments. This is pathetic.
Oweh is anything but a leader of this team, that said JJ plays for one thing, himself, FFS his selfishness is next level for a freshman.I would cut Oweh, Garrison, JJ and possibly MD and finish out the year.
Looks like someone drifting through his fifth pick up game at the local YMCA.
I don’t know what happened Oweh in the off-season. This season he always looks like he doesn’t want to be here. Where is all that enthusiasm and energy that he played with last year?

I wonder if this is being shown when they’re reviewing game and what’s said about it. Because obviously nothing’s been done about it!
JJ has more talent than any other guard on the team. His loose cannon shot selection is Popes fault for letting him play that way. We have a coach with no backbone and the players clearly aren’t listening to or respecting.
It’s beyond obvious he misses his team mates from last year. He wanted to go pro, but can’t. He was excited for a great season and then whatever has happened 100% involved him. He is checked out. Getting that huge sum of money isn’t helping because he’s now set and doesn’t have to preform to keep earning it.
I'm not sure what is up with OO, but he's wasting his final year of basketball where anyone will be watching his game. Even if he doesn't want to be here, there is nothing he can do about it now. His lack of effort is pushing any NBA aspirations further away. He isn't going to make it on talent and constantly being a no show in leadership and effort is not going to help his cause.
Pope is equally at fault for not benching the big zero.
This is what happens when the coach is soft and doesn't hold players accountable. Play like this for Izzo, or Pitino and see what happens.
Pope has to stop trying to be their friend and call them out.
Oweh needs to sit, point blank. We all saw his bs attitude last night. Heck, he was yawning on his way to the sidelines after a timeout.
Send him home.

Mark Pope is Oweh's biggest fan, he celebrated his return and brags about him endlessly and this is how Otega responds?
This is how OO shows appreciation for Mark Pope picking him to be on the biggest stage in college basketball? GTFOH

It really sucks seeing this from 00. Idk what happened this year, but I really liked him and I think he’s a good dude. Something way beyond basketball is wrong with him right now. It actually makes me sad because I don’t want to not like him. This isn’t helping though.
The drop off from last year to this year for Oweh is baffling. He has zero care, but continually gets playing time and a green light.
I don’t know if it’s the money, women, drugs, whatever; but he’s one lazy guy now.

Pope doesn’t have the respect of his players nor is he establishing any sort of authority or accountability.
At this point you have to pay him. But you don’t have to play him. He’s overrated anyway even when he’s trying.
Looks to me like Pope lost the locker room. There is some in-fighting going on and OO might be the odd man out.
I don't know what it is, but Pope doesn’t have the personality to fix it in my opinion. He's too close with the players, he's their friend.
The players have to fix this.

Pope is letting the inmates run the asylum.
Yeah, it’s like parents who try to be their kids best friends instead of their parent.
How do you think Pitino would react to this?
Otega has done himself in. NBA scouts are talking about his effort and body language. He will never play in the league.

I would bench him for the "pretend" shot. It's not like Oweh doesn't go 1 on 3 and miss open teammates.
Pope needs to call these guys out publicly. They are professionals now. This is unacceptable, and I'm sick of this nice guy coach shielding his players that don't deserve it. Absolutely pathetic.
We know exactly how he would deal with it. He was willing to sit RJ Luis, his first team all-american, last year in the last 4 minutes of a tournament game that was at times one or two possessions. He would not play Oweh and he would call him out publicly for being a coward on the court.
Mark Pope: modern kids don't respond to Old School discipline, swearing, or getting called out publicly.
Danny Hurley (while holding two championships in his hands): what the #$@& did you just say, you ignorant pathetic #@$&$* @#*&#@?
Yup, that’s what these players have to understand. Guys like Oweh and Kam Williams will never sniff the league now IMHO. They have been exposed and the lack of effort and body language has hurt everyone on the entire team. JJ and Aberdeen have shown a remarkable selfishness with the ball. Even Jelavic as good as he can be sometimes just jacks shots as fast as he can touch the ball.
Yeah, that's the most baffling part for me. OO is in a situation where he needs to show the best of himself and he has… ..had… a legit shot to play big boy basketball.
It’s very concerning to me to see him playing like he doesn't care. That tells me the issues behind the scenes are pretty bad, unless he's a guy that thrives in a victim role and it's always someone else's fault. I never got that vibe about him, but for him to throw away his shot at the NBA like this, is crazy.
Thing is, if he all the sudden decides to turn it on, it's too late, the NBA has seen enough at this point. You can't act like that on THIS stage.
He would be playing walk ons every game from now on.
I would announce an indefinite suspension this morning if I were Pope. He will be reinstated once he proves he’s here for the team and not himself.
Now, I wish Oweh would’ve stayed in the draft.

If Pope doesn’t kick this bum off the team TODAY, he is done as coach here. This has been going on ALL SEASON with Oweh. Go back and watch the games. Give him his money and kick his *** to the curb. He is pathetic.
Pope needs to make an example of him.

This was one of my fears with MP after I saw what kind of a guy he was. He’s too soft to do what needs to be done here and that isn't going to change. He will do the same things next year, the year after and 10 years from now. It’s who he is and that's not going to work.
Problem is, he's the kind of guy Mitch wants to associate with. Similar mentalities.
Oweh's attitude is me me me me me. He can pass and can be a team player but his attitude is trash. Pope needs to address it. I do believe he is the cancer of the team. I'd be surprised if it's anyone else.
Last years Oweh would kick the absolute dog **** out of this years Oweh.
He was an absolute dog last year. This year he's a puppy. Sad but true.
He supposedly came back so he could have a shot at the NBA. And he's gonna be lucky to make a roster next year on even the worst of the worst NBA team.
