Kentucky Wildcats Set to Shine Bright at 2025 NBA Draft Combine
Big Blue Nation Will Be Well-Represented as NBA Scouts Take Notice
As the 2025 NBA Draft approaches, the Kentucky Wildcats are once again proving why they’re a premier launching pad for future pros. A handful of last season’s standout players have been officially invited to showcase their skills in front of NBA decision-makers at the 2025 NBA Draft Combine a clear testament to the talent that head coach Mark Pope molded in his first season at the helm.
Otega Oweh & Koby Brea Headline Draft Combine Invites
Among those receiving the prestigious Combine invitation are Otega Oweh and Koby Brea, two dynamic players who left their mark on the Wildcats’ 2024–25 campaign.
Oweh, known for his elite athleticism, defensive prowess, and explosive finishes at the rim, made a name for himself as one of Kentucky’s most reliable two-way threats. With his length and motor, NBA teams are expected to pay close attention to how he performs in drills, interviews, and scrimmages.
Brea, meanwhile, has become one of the most talked-about shooters in the nation. After transferring in and posting historic shooting percentages from three-point range, Brea’s stock has soared. Draft analysts like ESPN’s Jonathan Givony have already praised his mechanics, versatility, and court awareness. At the Combine, he’ll look to solidify his place as one of the top sharpshooters in the draft class.
G League Elite Combine: Amari Williams & Jaland Lowe Get Their Shot
But the attention doesn’t stop there. Two more Wildcats are headed to the 2025 G League Elite Combine a proving ground for potential risers and overlooked talent.
Amari Williams, the big man with a high defensive ceiling and tremendous rebounding instincts, will look to showcase his agility and rim protection in front of scouts. His size and ability to guard multiple positions make him a sleeper to watch.
Joining him is Jaland Lowe, one of Mark Pope’s prized offseason acquisitions. Lowe brings a quick first step, playmaking flair, and a confident shooting stroke. The G League Combine gives him a prime opportunity to demonstrate that he belongs in the upper tier of guard prospects.
A Testament to Kentucky’s Reloaded Culture
This wave of Combine invites reflects not only the individual talent of each player but also the culture that Coach Pope has reinvigorated in Lexington. Despite being early in his Kentucky tenure, Pope has already made a powerful statement: under his leadership, Kentucky will continue to be a pipeline to the pros.
And for fans of Big Blue Nation, this is just the beginning.
From Rupp Arena to the NBA hardwood, the Kentucky brand continues to shine and in the 2025 Combine, the world is about to see why.
