Kentucky guard Otega Oweh told Aaron Fentress of the Oregon Live on Thursday that he’s “all in” on the goal of playing in the NBA.
“I’m all in,” Oweh said in the interview. “I have one more year of eligibility, but my goal is to play in the NBA, so I’m not doing this process one foot in, one foot out.”
While that certainly doesn’t sound like great news for Kentucky fans, Oweh is still projected as a late second round pick in the NBA Draft. He said in the interview he will make a decision after the workouts are complete.

Sounds like a Blazers fit. But will he remain in the draft? Oweh could return to Kentucky for his senior year, but said that’s not the plan.
“I’m all in,” he said. “I have one more year of eligibility, but my goal is to play in the NBA, so I’m not doing this process one foot in, one foot out.”
However, a recent report stated that Oweh would remain in the draft only if he were guaranteed to be selected in the first round.
“I wouldn’t say it’s completely false, but I believe I’m a first-round guy,” he said. “So, I’m just gonna go through these workouts, give it my all, and then when it’s all said and done, I’ll see where I’m at and then I’ll make that decision.”
