Here are the NBA teams that Kentucky's draft hopefuls have worked out with
The 2025 NBA Draft is less than one month away. And while the Big Blue Nation continues to wait on Otega Oweh‘s stay-or-go decision, there are a handful of former Kentucky Wildcats hoping to hear their names called during June’s two-day draft in Brooklyn.
Oweh’s name is not being mentioned on most mock drafts ahead of Wednesday night’s withdrawal deadline. But the 6-foot-5 All-SEC guard is still taking every pre-draft workout and interview he can before making his decision. Which teams has Oweh met with? The kind folks over at HoopsHype have put together a list of confirmed draft workouts for dozens of prospects across several NBA franchises.
So far, Oweh has met with the following teams: Boston Celtics (pick No. 28, 32), Brooklyn Nets (No. 8, 19, 26, 27, 36), Houston Rockets (No. 10, 59), and Portland Trail Blazers (No. 11). His most recent workout was with the Nets earlier this week. He’s likely met with more than just these four franchises, too.
But he’s not the only Wildcat going through the pre-draft process. The likes of Lamont Butler, Andrew Carr, and Amari Williams have also been partaking in workouts with NBA teams, according to HoopsHype, which reports Butler has met with at least four teams already. While Oweh was invited to and participated in the NBA Draft Combine earlier this month in Chicago, Butler, Carr, and Williams did not.
The pre-draft workouts are especially important for those three if they hope to sign undrafted contracts in the event they aren’t selected come draft day.
Lamont Butler
- Atlanta Hawks (No. 13, 22)
- Los Angeles Clippers (No. 30, 51)
- Los Angeles Lakers (No. 55)
- Toronto Raptors (No. 9, 39)
Andrew Carr
- Houston Rockets (No. 10, 59)
Amari Williams
- Sacramento Kings (No. 42)
We’re not going to forget to mention Koby Brea, either. Projected by most mock drafts to land somewhere in the second round, Brea had — much like Oweh — a productive showing at the NBA Draft Combine. HoopsHype doesn’t mention Brea’s pre-draft workouts, but he’s certainly been around the block.
KSR has learned that Brea has workouts with the Orlando Magic (No. 16, 25, 46, 57) and Los Angeles Clippers this week. A workout with the Boston Celtics is on the schedule, as well. The 6-foot-7 sharpshooter has also reportedly been linked to the Miami Heat (No. 20). The Herald Leader reported Brea met with the Memphis Grizzlies (No. 48, 56) at the Combine and had “several” other meetings scheduled for that week in Chicago.
It feels like we’re inching toward the not-so-crazy idea of Brea being a potential first-round sleeper. On Tuesday, The Ringer updated its Big Board, made up of the platform’s top 50 NBA Draft prospects. Brea was listed at 38th, with J. Kyle Mann writing, “When you’re that level of a threat (shooting three-pointers), teams will find ways to get you on the floor.” Oweh’s name was left off the list.
The 2025 NBA Draft is set for June 25-26 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Kentucky among Southeastern states receiving FEMA disaster recovery funding
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced the approval of nearly $23 million in funding to support natural disaster recovery throughout the Southeast.
Kentucky is among several states receiving funds for state-managed recovery programs after Hurricane Helene and other past disasters hit the Southeast, a news release from FEMA said.
According to FEMA, Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee will administer more than $2.1 million for disaster unemployment assistance to help those who may not be able to work as a direct result of a disaster.
Kentucky, alongside Georgia and Tennessee, was also awarded $2.4 million to fund crisis counseling and mental health support.
The funds will help pay for counselors and other services to help people with disaster-related stress and trauma, according to FEMA.
More information about state-managed recovery programs funded by FEMA can be found on the agency’s website.
