Herbalife Gran Canaria 2014 (ACB) agreed terms with 27-year old Nigerian ex-international shooting guard Chamberlain Oguchi (198-86, college: Illinois State). He just played at Spartak Primorie Vladivostok in Russian PBL league. In 9 games he had 15.0ppg, 4.3rpg and 1.4apg this season. Oguchi also played at Maine Red Claws in D-League earlier that season. In 24 games he recorded 9.0ppg, 2.3rpg and 1.4apg. He ended the last season at Meralco Bolts (PBA) in Filipino league. In four games he recorded very impressive stats: 20.3ppg, 6.8rpg and 1.8apg. But the most of that year Oguchi spent at Panteras (LPB) in Venezuelan league. In 21 games he recorded 13.0ppg, 2.1rpg and 1.6apg. Quite impressive season as he was named to Venezuelan LPB All-Star Game. He ended the last (11-12) season at Duhok (D1) in Iraqi league. But the most of that year Oguchi spent at Hoops Club (Division A) in Lebanese league. In 11 games he recorded also remarkable stats: 23.3ppg, 7.9rpg, 4.6apg and 1.6spg.
Three years ago (a year after he left the college) Oguchi was drafted by Maine Red Claws (D-League) in second round (14th overall).
He attended Illinois State until 2009 and it will be his fourth season in pro basketball.
The list of the past achievements is quite long as Oguchi played in the final of MVC Tournament in 2009. He was also voted MVC Newcomer of the Year back in 2009 at his college time. Oguchi represented Nigeria at the Olympic Games in London (United Kingdon) last year. His stats at that event were 4 games: 12.3ppg, 1.3rpg, 1.3apg, FGP: 25.0%, 3PT: 47.6%, FT: 84.6%.
Oguchi has played also professionally in France (STB Le Havre).
On Oguchi:
Long and athletic explosive scorer, Dangerous three point threat. Has no conscience whatsoever -- for better or for worse -- and will hoist up shots instantaneously if you give him an inch of daylight. 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.
