LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Otega Oweh waited until Wednesday’s deadline to decide on his basketball future. The 6-foot-5 Kentucky guard ultimately chose to return to college for another season rather than remain in the NBA Draft.
Last season, Oweh averaged a career-high 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game at UK. The All-SEC Second Team selection scored in double figures in 29 regular season games and surpassed 20 points 11 times.
Oweh returns to a Kentucky roster that has been reloaded through the transfer portal and is expected to be one of the top players for Mark Pope’s team next season.
