signing with TNT Tropang Giga, his first tour of duty in the Philippines.1
During his brief stay with the Rockets, he averaged 10.8 points and 5.3 
rebounds while seeing action in four games. Oliver also had a 10-day appearance 
with the Atlanta Hawks last season where he played two games and averaged 11.5 
points and three rebounds. Outside of scoring, Oliver is also a solid rebounder, 
leading the National Basketball League Australia in rebounding. In the 2019-2020 
season while playing for the CQUniversity Taipans, he averaged 17.4 and 9.11 
rebounds per game. The next season, he posted averages of 17.33 points and 10 
rebounds per game. The well-built 26-year old player also saw action in the Spanish 
League last February, and for Unicaja Malaga where he posted averages of 8.6 
points and 5.2 rebounds in 20 minutes of action. In the Puerto Rican League, Oliver 
came away with averages of 15.1 points and 8.4 rebounds.2

tournaments which can improve the team's standing in the sport that has become 
part of the Filipino culture and lifestyle.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
