Love to have him back, and it makes sense. Easily my favorite player on the team this year !
His form is hideous.I think owehs form is ok. What seems to be the problem is he can't catch and shoot quickly. He rushes and his arms go all over the place. Get a moment to spot up, it's fine
You're just going to ignore the first Bama game where he had 21 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a block?Oweh vs Alabama = 4 pts
Oweh vs Auburn = 4 pts
We need better production from him against top competition.
Double figures in every other game so he indeed has done well against top competition.Oweh vs Alabama = 4 pts

That was earlier in the season when we had our full roster. We’re at the end of the season in crunch time and he hasn’t performed as well. We need more.You're just going to ignore the first Bama game where he had 21 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a block?
Not when he was our featured offensive weapon.Double figures in every other game so he indeed has done well against top competition.
Perhaps teams are focusing more on him because he's the only player that can get to the rim except for Butler.Not when he was our featured offensive weapon.

That’s when we had a full complement of our roster and he didn’t have to shoulder the load. Without Butler and Robinson, his production has fallen off.

Moving goalposts? I specifically stated his production was off against Alabama and Auburn which is TOP COMPETITION. Oklahoma is in 3rd to last place in the SEC. What part about that is difficult to understand? I hope he does pick it up. We need him now more than ever.He’ll come up with some weird way to move the goalposts again.
I *think* Brea is emerging as a threat to get to the basket.Perhaps teams are focusing more on him because he's the only player that can get to the rim except for Butler.
More than 18 points in a row on the road? Man, tough crowdThat was earlier in the season when we had our full roster. We’re at the end of the season in crunch time and he hasn’t performed as well. We need more.
Wayne Turner had the ugliest shot I've ever seen.While his shooting form isn't good by any means, there is none that comes close to MKG's who easily had the ugliest I've ever seen. I don't know how to post a pic or I would. Here is a link that has a pic in it though. And this was after, he had someone help him with his form.

Hornets hope Kidd-Gilchrist's identity isn't lost in shot overhaul | Sporting News
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist made the first major overhaul of his shot with the help of Mark Price.www.sportingnews.com
Against 4-12 cellar dweller Oklahoma. And besides up until that 18 point spurt, which was remarkable, he was actually having a bad game. Coach Pope even mentioned it. He’s notMore than 18 points in a row on the road? Man, tough crowd
What point are you even trying to get to? This is a thread about Oweh returning…are you against bringing him back? Outside of that, this seems like the weirdest time to go on a rant about everything you dislike about OwehAgainst 4-12 cellar dweller Oklahoma. And besides up until that 18 point spurt, which was remarkable, he was actually having a bad game. Coach Pope even mentioned it. He’s not
playing well. He’s committing dumb fouls like the one against Broome going for a rebound on the missed FT when he had no chance of getting it. He’s also making lazy passes like the one to Perry which Baker- Mazara stole for an AND1. That was a 5 point turnaround. It may be because of fatigue.
He won’t if we can get the NIL right at about $3-4M.

That is a little hyperbolic. It isn’t that bad.Easily my favorite player on the team. But my goodness, his shooting form makes MKG’s look like Klay Thompson’s. Should 1000% return.
But he was quick and had lots of options to pass the ball too.Wayne Turner had the ugliest shot I've ever seen.
I posted the available data. 4 points against Alabama, 4 points against Auburn. The first against Bama, Butler amd Robinson also played. Defenses weren’t keying on him. He’s a good player with great athleticism. He’s not great and there will be better options in the portal next year.Hard to take you seriously when you ignore the list of games I presented and just focus on the two bad games. Can’t fix those. But he also put up 21 the first game against Bama and you ignore that one so dunno. Seems like you are choosing to ignore available data.
Not against bringing him back but there will be better options in the portal.What point are you even trying to get to? This is a thread about Oweh returning…are you against bringing him back? Outside of that, this seems like the weirdest time to go on a rant about everything you dislike about Oweh
Otega will never play in the NBA! Shooting guards have to be able to shoot.
Maybe, maybe not. And the competition for portal players will be fierce. Bird-in-hand wouldn’t be the worst.Not against bringing him back but there will be better options in the portal.
If you’re old enough to remember, Wayne turner’s form was on the level with MKG……the 3 ball for sure was hideous to watch.While his shooting form isn't good by any means, there is none that comes close to MKG's who easily had the ugliest I've ever seen. I don't know how to post a pic or I would. Here is a link that has a pic in it though. And this was after, he had someone help him with his form.

Continuity is valuable. Just because there might be a more talented guy in the portal doesn’t mean we’d be more successful with that player instead of Oweh. Having returning guys in a system like Pope’s who already know it is very valuable for the program moving forward.Not against bringing him back but there will be better options in the portal.
He had that one year, like 3 years in, where he started the season knocking down threes then immediately got hurt. Literally never fully recovered.Crazy thing is it wasn’t that bad at Kentucky .
MKG was a great kid I was really pulling for his success . I think he lost his confidence once he got to the league too .
There will not be a better option at the 2 guard spot for Kentucky than Oweh. NBA talent will go into the draft, I wouldn’t take any other player that’s in the portal.I posted the available data. 4 points against Alabama, 4 points against Auburn. The first against Bama, Butler amd Robinson also played. Defenses weren’t keying on him. He’s a good player with great athleticism. He’s not great and there will be better options in the portal next year.
Mercy. His form is nowhere near ok. Crosses the midline of his body. Ball is in front of his face. Release and follow through are flat. Basically his line is completely crooked and his elbow is outside his body. In short, it’s not ok form.I think owehs form is ok. What seems to be the problem is he can't catch and shoot quickly. He rushes and his arms go all over the place. Get a moment to spot up, it's fine
We definitely need him back 100%.Could be a win, win situation, love to have him back, but would help Pope's reputation by putting him in the pros
His from was worse in the pros after they messed with it, it wasn’t pretty but it was fluid at Kentucky. They jacked it up.While his shooting form isn't good by any means, there is none that comes close to MKG's who easily had the ugliest I've ever seen. I don't know how to post a pic or I would.

Unfortunately he was the only healthy perimeter player that could hurt a team and they key on him now too. Hes a good college player but he’s not Monk or someone who can dominate by himself.Oweh vs Alabama = 4 pts
Oweh vs Auburn = 4 pts
We need better production from him against top competition.
You don’t know that. Oweh’s 6’4, Jeremiah Fears of Oklahoma is 6’4. If he were to hit the portal which has been rumored, I’d take him over Oweh all day.There will not be a better option at the 2 guard spot for Kentucky than Oweh. NBA talent will go into the draft, I wouldn’t take any other player that’s in the portal.
I’ve got a better chance of bedding Rachel Bilson this evening than that happening. A couple of workouts aren’t going to change what NBA scouts already know and have seen the last couple years. I love OO and Hope like hell he’s at UK next year, but that dudes never playing in the NBA.oweh could be second rounder with good workouts...
He may leave...
