The Roanne Basket Choir is pleased to announce the arrival of American-Nigerian guard Michael Oguine (27 years old, 1.88 m). This Cotonou player will bring his knowledge of the championship, since he will continue a fifth season in ProB in Roanne. He wore the Elan Béarnais jersey during the 2023/24 financial year (14.3 points and 2.9 assists in nearly 28 minutes per game on average), after spending time with Souffelweyersheim, Saint-Chamond and Denain .
Strong defender, aggressive towards the circle thanks to his speed and explosiveness, the Californian trained at Montana is renowned for his athletic qualities but also his ability to score from long distance. It can also be used at hand. Michael Oguine was Dylan Affo Mama’s teammate in Pau, and has friendships with Terrell Gomez, whom he faced in the Big Sky Conference in D1 NCAA.
Thomas Andrieux: “Michael is a player referenced in ProB, who in my opinion can still progress in certain aspects of the game. With his crossing ability, he will bring us a lot of creation, while being a defensive leader. In terms of state of mind, he is someone who is unanimously appreciated wherever he goes, and his relationship with Terrell is a significant aspect.
Michael Oguine: “I am delighted to join the Chorale de Roanne. I had a great discussion with Coach Thomas about his vision for the team. I look forward to working with him and my teammates for this new season. See you soon !”
