Olah is one of three Wildcats players who was eligible to be drafted Thursday night, joining guard Tre Demps and center Joey van Zegeren. Demps and van Zegeren have not announced summer league invites yet. Demps’ father, Dell, is the general manager of New Orleans.
Olah averaged 11.4 points per game, 5.6 rebounds per game and 1.4 blocks per game in his senior season, dealing with a foot injury that caused him to miss the beginning of the conference season.
