Kentucky guard Otega Oweh has officially declared for the 2025 NBA Draft, marking a major turning point in his basketball journey. After weeks of speculation, Oweh confirmed his decision to forgo his remaining college eligibility and pursue his professional dreams.
The 6-foot-5 sophomore made a strong impression with the Wildcats, showcasing explosive athleticism, tenacious defense, and a steadily improving offensive skill set. During the 2024–25 season, he averaged 13.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game—earning All-SEC honors and catching the eyes of NBA scouts.
“This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember,” Oweh said in a statement. “I’m grateful to my coaches, teammates, and everyone at Kentucky who helped me grow on and off the court. I’m ready for this next step and excited for what the future holds.”
Oweh reportedly spent the past few weeks evaluating his options, consulting with family, coaches, and mentors. Ultimately, the opportunity to chase his NBA dream was too compelling to pass up.
As he begins the draft process, Oweh is expected to generate interest from teams looking for a high-energy, two-way wing. With strong performances in pre-draft workouts and interviews, he could climb draft boards heading into June.
Otega Oweh’s next chapter is just beginning—and the NBA is watching.
