Oweh’s Draft Stock Surges as Mock Drafts Eye Bulls Fit

Kentucky’s Otega Oweh is rising in NBA mock drafts after a strong NBA Draft Combine, with CBS Sports projecting him at No. 38 to the Chicago Bulls (via a trade). Other outlets vary, placing him later (e.g., 43 to the Nets, 50–56 range) as teams weigh medicals and his two-way potential, while teammate Quaintance also climbs. In short, Oweh’s improved athleticism, scoring, defense and spot-up shooting have him trending toward a first-to-second-round selection.
