Unicaja has officially presented Cameron Oliver, who this Saturday will debut as a green player against UCAM Murcia at the Martín Carpena. The American power forward arrives to contribute “versatility and athletic ability” to the inside game for the rest of the season. Juanma Rodríguez, sports director of the Malaga team, welcomed him and hopes he will join “lor as quickly as possible. He is a player that youHe has potential, but like any new player he has to pass the baptism of the ACB League”.
His signing for Unicaja: “I am very happy to come to Unicaja. I didn’t know much about the ACB, I was playing in the G-League and it all happened very quickly. I have loved everything I have seen of the club, the city and the people. I am trying to adapt as quickly as possible to this new situation and I will give the best of myself to get it”.
That I can contribute?: “I want to contribute my energy, my athletic ability. I can do a little of everything, give the team the versatility that I can have depending on who defends me internally. I will contribute my energy and I want to know the basketball that is played here as soon as possible and see what I can contribute with my game”.
Its objectives: “My dream is to play in the NBA (in his career he has played several games with the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks), but try this adventure in a different basketball and a League as strong as the ACB can help me achieve that future dream. Right now I’m focused on Unicaja and trying to help the team win games”.
His arrival to the team: “When I came I spoke to Matt Mooney and he told me all about the city, the club and the teammates. He told me that he had a hard time at first. I know some players from UCAM Murcia, our rival tomorrow. I will try to be prepared knowing that it is a tough and competitive League“.
