Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Cason Wallace

Summary

The Blair Academy and Team Final alum played two years at Oklahoma, coming off the bench as a freshman and then starting 28 games as a sophomore. He then went into the transfer portal and spent his final two seasons at Kentucky, averaging 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals as a senior and leading the team in scoring and steals.

About

2025 and 2026 Second Team All-SEC.
Scored 35 points in Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament win over Santa Clara.
Older brother, Odafe Oweh, was a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Strengths

Strong and physical with an NBA ready body and long arms (6-8.5 wingspan).
Has defensive tools and a chance to develop into a true stopper when he embraces that role and scales down his offensive usage. Also a high-volume perimeter rebounder.
Gets downhill in transition or off pitches, but also an underrated spot-up shooter who connected on 61% of his unguarded catch-and-shoot 3-pointers, albeit in a limited sample size.

Weaknesses

Not more than a spot-up shooter. Percentages plummet when contested or off the dribble.
Limited playmaker. Ranks in only the 32nd percentile as a pick-and-roll ball-handler and has a negative assist-to-turnover ratio for his career.
Had some uncharacteristically inconsistent moments with his motor and defensive focus this year, which will both be critical to him establishing a sustainable niche in the NBA.
