Ochefu signed a contract Tuesday with CB Breogan of the Spanish League.
EDGE Analysis
With Ochefu's G League club, the Stockton Kings, having recently wrapped up its season, the 25-year-old will head overseas for additional work. The big man will presumably be a free agent again this summer but is unlikely to secure more than a training-camp invite from an NBA team if he returns to North America.

Ochefu (illness) scored 26 points (9-17 FG, 8-9 FT) to go along with 17 rebounds, three assists and a steal in the win over Northern Arizona on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ochefu certainly didn't seem to be hindered much by an illness that kept him out earlier in the week. Northern Arizona has struggled to stop the center position for most of the season so Ochefu's eye-popping stat line shouldn't be so surprising. Still, if he can keep up this scoring load in the remaining games, there's a chance Ochefu could be considered one of the best G League centers by season's end.

Ochefu (knee) tallied 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and a steal in Stockton's 101-99 win over Lakeland on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Ochefu was a monster on the glass, picking up eight offensive rebounds and generally winning the battle in the paint. While Stockton saw fit to get other bench bigs playing time, Ochefu made the most of his opportunities, scoring well above his average of 9.3 points per game on putbacks along with and-1 shots near the rim. It was a bit surprising to see Ochefu inserted into the starting lineup, particularly after missing time to a knee injury, but given Sunday's performance you can assume Stockton will want another look at their big in the near future.

Ochefu (undisclosed) scored 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, two steals and one assist during the loss Monday to the Mad Ants.
EDGE Analysis
Ochefu missed the previous three games with an undisclosed ailment but was able to return to the court Monday, playing 23 minutes. The 26-year-old is regarded as the starting center for Stockton, but it's a generous term given he has only averaged 23.1 minutes across 18 games this season.

Ochefu scored 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 FT) and totaled 12 rebounds along with a block Friday against the Wisconsin Herd.
EDGE Analysis
Ochefu was efficient down low, hitting on 63.6 percent of his shots from the field in a 132-125 victory in 26 minutes of court time. The big man is nearly averaging a double-double in the G League this season, tallying 12.5 points along with 8.7 boards over 16 contests. Ochefu will look to keep it rolling with the hope of seeing some NBA action in the near future.

Ochefu was traded from Windy City to Reno in a three-team deal Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ochefu spent 19 games with the Wizards during the 2016-17 campaign, but has since found himself in the G-League attempting to restore his value. Prior to being dealt to Reno on Monday, Ochefu had played 24 games for Windy City, posting averages of 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks across 19.3 minutes. He'll hope to have an even bigger impact following the change in scenery, though it's unclear if Ochefu will ultimately receive call-up interest from NBA teams as the second half of the season progresses.

Ochefu was waived by the Celtics on Saturday, Steve Bullpett of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ochefu was released by the Wizards early last week, which allowed the Celtics to eventually sign the 6-foot-11 center. However, the reasoning for the signing was to obtain his G-League rights, so Ochefu is now expected to join the team's affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, for the start of the upcoming campaign. Ochefu could eventually get a look during the season if injuries occur to the Celtics' current roster.

Ochefu signed with the Celtics on Friday, Brian Robb of the Boston Sports Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ochefu was recently released by the Wizards as part of their final roster cuts, but the expectation is that center will be cut once again so the Celtics can hold his G-League rights. Ochefu appeared in just 19 games for the Wizards last season, averaging just 3.9 minutes per game.
