Closing the book on Olivier Nkamhoua’s international tour

Olivier Nkamhoua and Finland wrapped up the 2023 FIBA World Cup with classification wins over Cape Verde and Venezuela after a disappointing 0-3 finish in group play.

Through nine games (including warm-ups), Nkamhoua averaged 8.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 19 minutes per game. He shot 51% on twos and 50% on threes (29% of attempts) for a 57.9 eFG%.

Here’s a recap highlight video of his performances, followed by some final thoughts on his play and what it all means for his upcoming year in Ann Arbor.

Still to come

  1. Talent is there; the scale up is the key
  2. I'm still buying the shot

  4. Some rough edges
  5. Bottom Line
