Kentucky guard Otega Oweh has declared for the 2025 NBA Draft. He plans to keep his eligibility, leaving open the possibility of a return.
Kentucky junior guard Otega Oweh has officially declared for the 2025 NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility, leaving the door open for a possible return to the Wildcats next season.
Oweh, a standout performer during the 2024–25 campaign, announced his decision on social media, thanking his coaches, teammates, and fans for their support. By entering the draft process without hiring an agent, Oweh can participate in workouts and receive feedback from NBA teams before making a final decision.
The 6-foot-5 guard transferred to Kentucky from Oklahoma and quickly became a key contributor, known for his defensive intensity and athleticism. His performance this season drew attention from scouts, making him a potential late second-round pick.
Under NCAA rules, players have until June 15 to withdraw from the draft and retain college eligibility. Oweh’s final decision will be closely watched as Kentucky prepares for next season.
