The Miami GP long runs: Mercedes leads, challengers on the rise

Three Kentucky Wildcats have been invited to the NBA Draft Combine, including Otega Oweh, Jayden Quaintance, and Malachi Moreno. Their performances could significantly impact their draft prospects for the 2026 NBA Draft.
The 2026 NBA draft isn't far off, and this month's NBA Draft Combine will go a long way in helping determine which players will hear their names called. Aspiring draftees will get a chance to show off their skills, and try to convince teams they are worth selecting. Three Kentucky Wildcats will be in that group.
Guard Otega Oweh is the player who, perhaps, needs this event the most. Though he was a star at Kentucky, he may not be drafted. His game isn't typical of where the NBA is at these days. He doesn't shoot threes particularly well, and relies on a lot of mid-range jumpers. However, he's a good defender and can get to the rim, so he could find a niche.
Jayden Quaintance is a likely first round pick, and possibly goes in the top 20. He is a great rebounder and rim protector, though his offensive game needs polish. He will need to use the combine to show his knee is healthy.
Malachi Moreno is currently projected as a second round pick. He has NBA size and has flashed a diverse skill set. With some further development, he could be a lottery pick, which is why most expect him to return to Kentucky for next season.
The combine takes place from May 10 - 17, and the deadline to return to school is May 27. Good luck to all three Wildcats.
