Kentucky guard and 2026 NBA draft pick Otega Oweh is the younger brother of Commanders edge rusher Odafe Oweh.
Some families are just a little more talented than others.
Take the Oweh family, for example. They’re pretty good at sports.
Kentucky guard Otega Oweh followed his older brother, Washington Commanders edge rusher Odafe Oweh, into the professional athlete ranks after he was selected in the 2nd round (No. 41 overall) by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.
“Otega Oweh, the brother of Commanders DE Odafe Oweh, was selected No. 41 overall in tonight’s NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder,” The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov wrote on his official X account on June 24.
Odafe Oweh was a 1st round pick (No. 31 overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2021 NFL draft out of Penn State and signed a 4-year, $100 million free-agent contract with the Commanders in March.
