Oguchi is actually a Nigerian
born in Houston , Texas . Oguchi, who will be turning 25 on
April 28, played prep ball at George W. Bush High School (Texas ).
He then played three years of College ball at the University
of Oregon from 2004 to 2007 before
moving to Illinois
State University
in 2007 during his senior year. After not being selected in the 2009 NBA draft,
Oguchi, who is also a member of the Nigerian national squad, brought his game
to Europe and played pro ball with STB Le Havre in the tough French League
during the 2009-10 season. He later played for the Maine Red Claws of the NBA
D-League. Scouting reports says Oguchi is real excellent shooter who has
NBA-range for his jumpers, according to Draft Express.
“Oguchi has NBA range on his jump-shot and will prove
that to you almost any time he gets a sniff of the ball. He has no conscience
whatsoever--for better or for worse--and will hoist up shots instantaneously if
you give him just an inch of daylight. He is excellent coming off screens
thanks to his heady off the ball movement and possesses very nice elevation on
his jump-shot complimented by a lightning quick release, a pretty follow
through and the excellent elevation he gets off the floor.”
