Louis Olinde (born March 19, 1998 in Hamburg) is a German basketball player. He is a member of the German U18 Men’s National Team and currently plays for the Hamburg Towers as well as for SC Rist Wedel.

His father Wilbert Olinde won the 1975 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament with UCLA[1] and took his game to Germany following his collegiate career.[2]

Career

Olinde’s career began in the youth ranks of BC Hamburg.[3] He joined the Piraten Hamburg organization in 2011 to compete in the JBBL, Germany’s under 16 division. In 2014, he made the Piraten under 19 side which plays in the NBBL, Germany’s highest youth league.

Olinde earned a spot on the roster of SC Rist Wedel, a member of Germany’s third-tier men’s league Pro B, for the 2014-15 season,[4] but had to wait until the following campaign to see playing time.[5] In accordance with an agreement of cooperation between SC Rist Wedel and Pro A side Hamburg Towers, Olinde was permitted to play for both clubs in the 2015-16 season,[6] but primarily appeared in Pro B games for SC Rist. Still eligible to compete at the youth level that year, he also turned out for the Piraten Hamburg under 19 squad in 2015-16, and was selected for the 2016 NBBL All-Star Game.[7]

International career

In August 2014, Olinde made the roster of Germany's U16 Men's National Team for the European Championships in Latvia. In nine appearances, he averaged 3.9 points and 4.7 rebounds during the tournament.[8]

In December 2015, he was named to the roster of Germany's U18 Men's National Team[9] and helped the team win the 2016 Albert-Schweitzer-Tournament.[10]
