This summer, Olinde worked out forGolden State Warriors, Oklahoma City, and Portland Trail Blazersin aim to secure an NBA contract.

"I would say gaining a lot of experience has helped me to make the game slower in my mind. This helps me a lot," Olinde told BasketNews in June when asked about his biggest growth over the past five years in EuroLeague.

"Obviously, my shooting has improved significantly over the years, allowing me to space the floor and become a threat from the outside. I believe these are the two main aspects of my game that have truly improved over time," he added.
