Otega Oweh's stock is rising in new NBA Mock Drafts

Key Points:

• The NBA Draft is two weeks away, with Kentucky Wildcats Jayden Quaintance and Otega Oweh projected to be selected, possibly both by the Chicago Bulls according to CBS Sports’ Adam Finkelstein mock draft.
• Quaintance is expected to go mid-first round at No. 15 (via trade with Portland), while Oweh, boosted by a strong NBA Draft Combine performance, is projected at No. 38 (via trade with New Orleans).
• Finkelstein praises Oweh’s improved shooting, defense, and physicality as a good fit for the Bulls’ style, and highlights Quaintance’s athleticism and defensive impact despite limited college play due to injury concerns.
• Other mock drafts vary, with Quaintance projected between picks 17 and 24 by different analysts, and Oweh’s stock rising but still projected in the second round by most, reflecting ongoing uncertainty before medical reports are released.
• The upcoming draft will confirm these projections, marking a significant moment for both players as Oweh’s draft stock notably improves following his combine showing.
