Chris Paul and Jayson Tatum joined forces to host their annual High School and College Elite Camps together in Las Vegas this summer, taking place from July 29 to August 1. There, Paul invited the top guards in the country to participate while Tatum invited the best wings and forwards for hands-on instruction. Among them? Kentucky’s own Otega Oweh, who joined a star-studded roster of college stars competing in the prestigious event.

Other college players in attendance include Purdue’s Braden Smith and Omer Mayer, Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg and Elliot Cadeau, Alabama’s Labaron Philon, Florida’s Thomas Haugh, UConn’s Solo Ball and Silas Demary Jr., Illinois’ Andrej Stojakovic, San Diego State’s Miles Byrd, Duke’s Isaiah Evans, Ohio State’s John Mobley Jr., Kansas State’s PJ Haggerty, Arkansas’ Karter Knox, Billy Richmond III and Meleek Thomas, Syracuse’s Kiyan Anthony, Houston’s Kingston Flemings, Iowa’s Bennett Stirtz and Missouri’s Anthony Robinson II and BYU’s Robert Wright III, among others.

The rosters were split up among college and high school talent, with the latter group also featuring Kentucky targets — all with offers — Bryson Howard, Cole Cloer, Cameron Williams, Qayden Samuels, Brandon McCoy Jr. and Marcus Sears Jr. (2027), among others.

Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic and Ryan Dunn of the Phoenix Suns were among the Elite Camp attendees while representatives of all 30 NBA teams were also in attendance scouting high school and college talent — including the Kentucky star.

“I definitely feel more at ease, more familiar with stuff,” Oweh said of entering year two as a Wildcat. “But I’m still trying to keep that same intensity and hunger that I had coming in last year. You have to keep that if you want to keep on improving.”

Oweh is a likely SEC Preseason Player of the Year candidate with his eyes on No. 9 as a senior in Lexington. Competing against the best of the best in Las Vegas as summer workouts wind down for the Wildcats doesn’t hurt.
