Onuaku was drafted by the Houston Rockets back in 2016 as the 37th overall pick and spent two years with the team. He logged a total of six games for the Rockets while he also played in the G League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
He also played for the Greensboro Swarms in the G league before moving to Korea, Croatia, and Israel for one-year stints. He’s been playing for Bnei Herzliya this season.
