NBA teams eye D'Tigers' Oguchi
Team Nigeria may not have performed well at the on going London
2012 Olympics but some individuals are already reaping from their hard work and
one of them is D’Tigers, Chamberlain Oguchi.
It seemed Oguchi would come and go out of these Olympic
Games without much notice, that was before he scored 35 points in Nigeria‘s
final preliminary round game, a 79-73 loss to France.
Suddenly, several NBA teams are inviting him to training
camp on non-guaranteed deals, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Several teams had front office executives in London
for the performance, where Oguchi made eight of his 14 three-point attempts.
Most see value in the versatile 6-foot-6 swingman, who could be acquired on a
rookie-scale contract.
Oguchi, 26, played high school basketball in Houston
before enrolling at Oregon and Illinois
State . He played 31 games for the
Maine Red Claws of the NBA Developmental League in 2010-11, averaging 10 points
per game.
