The Rockets are testing Kentucky s number one scorer. Will he stay in this year s NBA Draft?

According to HoopsHype reporter Alberto De Roa, the Houston Rockets have tried out Otega Oweh, a major wing player who previously played for the University of Kentucky.

Owe was born in June 2003. He is 21 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 95kg. He is a swaying man with comprehensive abilities and good scoring skills. This season, Owe transferred from the University of Oklahoma to join the University of Kentucky. After joining Kentucky, Owe made a total of 36 appearances in the NCAA, averaging 28.4 minutes per game, averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 49.2%, three-point shooting percentage 35.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 77.6%. After transferring to Kentucky, Owe quickly became a key figure and number one scorer in the team. He showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency can also be maintained at a good level, and his performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. He is also an all-round wing player with both offense and defense.

From the perspective of characteristics, Owe has a very good scoring ability. He has also shown a wealth of offensive methods. His movement ability and shooting ability are very stable. He also has certain breakthrough ability. His defensive end is also good. However, Owe still has a certain room for improvement in shooting choices and outside shooting stability. This season, Owe's progress after joining the team is obvious to all, and he has quickly become an indispensable key figure in the team. However, his performance at Oklahoma in the two seasons before this season was indeed a bit mediocre, which also led to his failure to attract more attention from everyone before.

Owe announced last month that he would participate in this year's NBA Draft, but he also retained the qualification to return to the NCAA arena. In other words, Owe is just testing the waters of this year's NBA Draft, and it is generally believed that he will return to the NCAA field next season and continue to play for the University of Kentucky for one year. If he can play more gorgeous statistics next season, this will also be of greater help and improvement to his draft market. For Owe, it is also a good direction to get evaluations and suggestions from various NBA teams through such trials, and to use these and suggestions as the goal of next season. For the Rockets, they can also pay close attention to the ability and potential of this 2022 four-star high school student who performed well this season. If Owe's performance in the trial is good enough, it is not ruled out that he will stay in the next draft.
