Oweh
- Thread starter rivercatinfl
- Start date
If he doesn't, UK has money to bring him back.
Hope he does well, he one of my favorite players at Ky in the last few years, he was a great player.
I thought the new 5 year rule starts now and doesn't include players from last season?
There's a lawsuit being filed right now on behalf of dozens of players from the class of '22 so that they can be included in the 5 for 5. I bet they win, too.
Love the "kid" but no thanks. If he came back to be the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team a fill that role obvious yes but he's not doing that. Wrecks the offense and we were forced to pay him superstar money last yr. Can't make the mistake again.
I'm afraid he does not shoot well enough to stick in the league.
I think he will be a better pro than a lot of people in this draft. His motor and athleticism will give him a chance to stick as a role player. He was very efficient as a college player which should translate. He is a great defender, can still develop his shot which isn't bad, his handle will improve as well, and he is a good passer.
Not sure his defense is good enough to be a role player either.
So this is a possibility? I'd definitely love to have Oweh back instead of the euro.
Also is Aberdeen going to be playing for Florida? Did he ever get eligible?
Oweh can do what Cason Wallace can do then some. He sticketh in the league.
He shot 33% on 3.75 attempts as senior. He is also highly efficient inside the arc and great at getting to line. With NBA floor spacing, he will be able to get to the rim. No reason he can't develop into at least a Luguentz Dort type player.
We'll know soon enough. All the seniors may have eligibility. There's a lawsuit underway.
They might get a temporary injunction but they will ultimately lose on appeal.
The NCAA has been winning more than losing lately.
I can see him getting drafted in the mid-late 2nd. This draft is nuts including at least 4 guys who normally would have been in the 20-25 range (Isaiah Evans, Meleek Thomas, Henri Veesaar, Baba Miller) at the top of the 2nd but it starts to fall off after that.
Absolutely we need to move on two years here nothing hanging from the rafters and Star player in last years disastrous season too. I don't want to be exposed again to a player trying to prove he can shoot from 25 feet . Good athlete horrible in the team aspect
I seriously doubt he will end up being eligible or end up back here, but I think its nonsense for anyone to say we wouldn't want him back. He could start at the three and kick Momcilovic to the four and be even more effective with a great 6'9" shooter like Momcilovic stretching the defense, and he would certainly help at the defensive end
Oweh would have to have 2 lawsuits won because the NCAA also said months ago that for now on anyone that keeps their name in the NBA draft will no longer be eligible in the NCAA.
That would be correct but people are planning their lawsuits already, so some people have the natural assumption that the courts will allow it.
What, you don’t like the ball hog pouting when he’s not getting his shots or his spotty defense. His fans will be highly upset with you.
You wouldn't take back one of the best players in the SEC last year? Really?
Really. Wasn't really great at anything except getting to the rim and even then you hoped he didn't blow a bunny. Had to have the ball in his hands at all times but really couldn't create for anyone else and caused the offense to stall. Gets buckets in bunches but that just lead to scoring droughts when he started slow or had a bad stretch. Would be a great 2nd or 3rd option but UK was in a spot where they couldn't let him walk. So they paid him like one of the best SEC players and forced the offense through him but I believe our offense will be better this year with the subtraction of both him and DA.
Read the scouting report for Oweh yesterday and it really made no sense. The guy was acting like Oweh couldn’t create his own shot, and would be limited to cuts only but I disagree heavily. Oweh is a bucket and if he wanted to could 100% get to the rim in the nba. Yes Owehs jumper isn’t great but he really improved his three this year.
I really hope for him he gets drafted
I really hope for him he gets drafted
I believe the scouting report to be pretty accurate. Not a great ball handler, shooter or creator for himself and not a willing passer. Yeah he's great at bullying his way to the bucket but there are guys way more gifted than him that can't get off the bench in the league. He better use the NIL money to invest in Rosetta Stone
Bringing Oweh back would hurt the teams potential in a negative way. No thanks!
Honestly I guess I don’t know what the game of basketball even is? If a player never passes the ball to his teammates and dribbles around and gets to the basket and scores how is that not creating your own shots? I think youve let big words and fancy people get into your head
I agree mostly. Ok to good shooting. Good to pretty good ball handling. Not a great passer. But he can definitely get himself a basket yes a lot of it is through bullying his way in but if you think that’s all he did you didn’t watch a single game of Kentucky basketball.
I have to disagree with you this time. Having him back for another season would kill any hope of Kentucky turning things around.
The ability to "create your own shot" means basically if u get 10 dribbles how OPEN of a shot can you create for yourself
oweh its 10 dribbles to the hoop and make a contested layup or get fouled, for a guy like peterson he could shake a defender off and have an open 12 foot jumper
That’s just not what that is.
Creating your own shots means scoring anyway possible not just open shots sweet heart.
If you made a shot with very little “openness” and clearance that’s still creating your own shots.
and if you had watched a game of Kentucky basketball or were familiar with basketball youd know you sound stupid
You left out, hold the ball for 10 seconds, ignoring teammates until you find the path to the basket then half the time you dribble it off your own foot.
As far as if he doesn’t go second round…..
Sure there’s no easy button for coming back here but I think now is a rather silly time to say something like that is impossible.

So I'm taking the opposing view of OO and therefore pointing out his flaws. Of course I dont think he's trash but I will die on the hill that at BEST he should be the 2-3 best player on a Final Four caliber team.
And the other things he does that you mention are the things he can't do consistently. Add that to the fact that no NBA team is going to let him take 10-15 seconds off the clock for him to find his way to the basket. Just dont see a spot for him but think he makes a lot of money over seas.
Ok I agree with this. Unless he went to some absolute trash rebuild team no one will let him iso for as long as he wants.
and I agree that year 1 Oweh not being the “man” was probably best for the team
Man I just don't see how. He would not be the man anymore, thats gonna be Momcilovic, Zoom and Wilkins. I think Oweh is far better as a 3rd or 4th option
