Miguel Andre "Migs" Oczon (born March 29, 2000) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the Suwon KT Sonicboom of the Korean Basketball League (KBL).
Professional career
[edit]Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus (2023–2025)
[edit]In December 2023, Oczon decided to forego his remaining two years of eligibility to play for the CSB Blazers in the NCAA as he signed a contract to play for the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus in the KBL as a Filipino import.[1] The St. Benilde guard averaged 13.17 points, 4.72 rebounds, and 2.78 assists per game in his last season in the collegiate ranks.[2]
On January 6, 2024, topscorer Oczon hit a game-winning three with 10.5 seconds left to welcome himself with an Ulsan win over the Suwon KT Sonicboom, 83–82.[3] He did the same for Ulsan with two straight triples in the last 15 seconds to defeat the tough-fighting KT, 91-89, on October 28, 2024.[4]
On January 10, 2025, Oczon scored a career-high 31 points but his team lost to the Seoul SK Knights, 76–70.[5]
On December 12, 2025, Oczon was dropped by Hyundai as the team's Asian import as he underwent surgery on his shoulder. He was replaced by Jake Figueroa.[6][7]
Personal life
[edit]Oczon, who wanted to give all-out support for his family in Davao City but had to suffer major injuries in college, said that he continues to learn the ethics of the game and respect outcomes.[8][9][10][11][12]
