Onuaku perfectly took over under the basket in the final of the 2024 DB Insurance KBL Cup held at Jecheon Gymnasium on the 13th. He had 24 points and 17 rebounds.
DB overwhelmed Suwon KT 77-67, and Onuaku was the top contributor. He was named MVP by winning 34 out of 65 votes cast by reporters.
In addition, the combination play with Ethan Albano was quite good. He was second to none as the league's best one-two punch. It is also an expected combination in the regular league.
DB has emerged as a strong favorite this season due to Onuaku's joining.
In an official interview after the game, he said "I won the championship with my teammates, and of course I feel good because I won the MVP."
Onuaku had a good chemistry with Ethan Albano in the Asian quarter in the DB. He kept practicing together, and talked to each other a lot. Language communication is an advantage. We talked about a lot of things to complement each other, and I think we're making it."
He also has good chemistry with Kim Jong-kyu. Onuaku and Kim Jong-kyu are at the heart of the DB goal. He said, `Kim Jong-gyu is one of the best big men in Korea. We're talking together about the part that we can't defend, the part that rebounds and throws confidently in an offensive situation."
