Oklahoma commit Otega Oweh demonstrates the classic Mikan Drill for developing touch around the rim.

Otega Oweh is a skilled guard at Blair Academy in New Jersey who has committed to Oklahoma. In this Player Tips segment, he demonstrates the Mikan Drill, a classic exercise designed to improve touch and finishing with both hands under the rim.
