The 24-year-old Nigerian center, standing 2.08 meters tall, joins the Santiago-based team to strengthen the paint with his ability to play both power forward and center, his physicality, and defensive intensity
Monbus Obradoiro completes its roster with the signing of Efe Abogidi. The big man arrives after completing his stint with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, an NBA G League team, where he continued developing as one of the most promising centers in the competition.
During the last season, he demonstrated his ability to contribute on both ends of the floor, combining physical presence, rebounding, intimidation, and mobility to defend different player profiles.
Before starting his professional career, the Nigerian player trained at the NBA Academy Africa and the NBA Global Academy in Australia, a path that opened the doors to American college basketball with Washington State, where he continued developing a modern big man profile thanks to his athletic qualities and technical evolution.
With this signing, Monbus Obradoiro adds to its roster a player with room for growth, experience in a high-demand environment like the NBA G League, and a profile that will bring solidity, energy, and versatility to the team's interior game.
Welcome to Santiago, Efe! We can't wait to see you at Sar.
