Arinze Onuaku

AO signs with Hunan Yong-Sheng, a 2nd-Tier professional team in NBL in China early this month. He helped his new team win against Anhui with great performance last night. He was in beast mode. AO had 27 Pts, 31 Rebs, 4 Ast, 2 Stl and 1 block. He led Hunan to a 103:88 victory.


AO is no stranger to NBL. He played for Sichuan, averaged 28.6 Pts and 14.8 Rebs in 2014. AO helped them to get promoted to CBA, the top league in China. Sichuan signed Daniel Orton to replace AO for their first CBA season.


Hunan’s ultimate goal is to be another expansion team of CBA within three to five years. NBL regular season is from June to September. If AO plays well enough, maybe he will earn a bigger paycheck from a CBA team. Kevin Knox turns down a one-year contract (1.4 million, after tax) to play for UK.


Sichuan is Deng Xiaoping’s home province and Hunan is Chairman Mao’s. They are both well-known for their SUPER SPICY food. Hope AO’s stomach is strong enough for SPICY EVERYTHING there.


Good luck AO!! Let’s go Orange!!

I hope nature doesn't call during games.

 

[DonLightfoot]

Good for him

 

[kjb120]

Thank you for the update, I'm happy he continues to play well and make a living overseas. I really wish he would get just one chance at meaningful minutes in the NBA.

 

[Briancuse]

Best of luck to him in Ghina.

Thanks for the compliment. Guess it's the first time I contribute something to the board other than "like's"

Numbing hot pot! LOVE Sichuan food. Spicy and numbing. Can really get fiery. Whenever I'm in NYC or Chicago I gotta get me some of that. D.C. area and Charlottesville have Peter Chang's, a legendary Sichuan chef/restaurant.

Arinze Onuaku just finished his season in the NBL, a 2nd-Tier league in China four days ago. His team, Hunan Yongsheng is 0-3 swept in the semifinal series.

AO played in 30 games, averaged 17.5 Pts, 14.4 Rebs , 3 Ast, 1.2 Stl, 0.9 Blk and 2.5 TO while shooting 66% from the
field and 41% from the free-throw line.
