Otega Oweh Shines at NBA Draft Combine with Strong Scrimmage Performances
Kentucky Wildcats standout Otega Oweh is generating significant attention at the 2026 NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, Illinois. The two-year player has delivered impressive performances in scrimmages, showcasing his athleticism, high motor, and finishing ability near the rim. In his first scrimmage, Oweh scored 20 points on efficient shooting along with four rebounds in just 18 minutes. He followed this with another strong outing, recording 21 points, five rebounds, and one assist, while shooting 9-of-10 from the free-throw line. However, his inconsistency from beyond the arc remains a concern, as he went 0-for-5 from three-point range in the final scrimmage. Currently ranked 105th among available players by ESPN, Oweh’s stock appears to be rising. Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor recently projected him to be selected 59th overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Given his defensive capabilities and recent statistical output, analysts expect Oweh to attract serious interest from teams looking for talent in the second round of the upcoming draft scheduled for June in Brooklyn, New York.
