Ernesto Oglivie

Club Trouville Montevideo (LUB) added to their roster 30-year old Panamanian forward Ernesto Oglivie (203-89). It is actually his comeback to Montevideo as he has played here before. Oglivie just played at Universitarios in Panamanian LPB league. In only one game he recorded very impressive stats: 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal this season. Oglivie also played for Capitanes (LNBP) in Mexican league where in 40 LPB games he averaged 14.5ppg, 5.4rpg and 1.2apg. A very spectacular season in his career as he was voted to Mexican LNPB All-Star Game and League Player of the Week.
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others Oglivie's team won Mexican LNBP South Division Regular Season in 2019. He was also voted Latinbasket.com All-Liga Centroamericana 1st Team back in 2016.
Oglivie represented Panama at the Centrobasket in Panama City (Panama) four years ago. His team got to the Semifinals and his stats at that event were 6 games: 7.3ppg, 6.3rpg, 1.0apg, FGP: 62.1%, FT: 53.3%.
Oglivie is quite experienced player. He has played also professionally in Argentina (Ferro), Paraguay (Sol de America), El Salvador (Denver-FAS San Salvador, San Marcos and Isidro Metapan), Panama (Navieros, Correcaminos and Los Tigres), Mexico (Lechugueros and Abejas) and Ecuador (ComuniKT).
On Oglivie: A talented forward, who has the athletic skills and the quickness to outstood at the two forward positions. Can score from outside and he's very effective when he penetrates inside to finish.
The best player in his age group who posesses a similar game to Jamaal Levy. He is more of a scorer than Levy but is not the rebounder or defender that Levy is. Has solid instincts around the basket and can put the ball on the ground in the midrange and get to the rim. Not a shooter but this skill can come with time. Biggest issue will be figuring out his true position at this point. Best young home grown talent in Panama at the moment.
