Big Blue Nation received thrilling news on Wednesday when star guard Otega Oweh announced he was withdrawing from the NBA Draft to return to Lexington for another season.
Oweh took this decision right to the deadline, officially pulling out on the last possible day. The main point is he’ll be back at Rupp Arena next season.
In an interview with ESPN, Oweh shared why he decided to withdraw: “I got great feedback from NBA teams, but the consensus was to come back to school and have a great year. I want to try and boost my stock even further and put myself in a position to win a national championship along with the accolades that come with it.”
This declaration should excite Kentucky fans, as NBA scouts showed positive interest in Oweh’s performance during workouts.
This season, Oweh aims to lead Kentucky to its ninth national title while focusing on improving the skills NBA teams advised him to work on, with hopes of being a first-round pick next year.
Oweh has a strong chance of becoming the SEC Player of the Year, and there’s even a possibility he could contend for National Player of the Year. The sky is the limit for Kentucky’s dynamic player, and fans can look forward to another season of impressive performances from him in Lexington!
