Martín Osimani (born May 22, 1981) is a Uruguayan professional basketball player. Born in Montevideo, he is a longtime member of the Uruguay national basketball team and is currently playing professionally with Club Biguá de Villa Biarritz in the Liga Uruguaya de Básquetbol.

College career

Osimani moved from Montevideo to Hialeah, Florida to attend high school there. An All-state player after nearly averaging a triple double per game for Champagnat Catholic High School, he was ranked in the top 100 high school recruits by ESPN.com. [1] He settled on the University of Utah after considering several powerhouse programs, including Duke University and UCLA. [2] In his freshman season, Osimani played in 28 of the team's 30 games off the bench, but averaged only 1.2 points and 1.0 assists per game in 8.0 minutes per game of playing time. [3]

Following a disappointing season at Utah, Osimani transferred back home to Miami-Dade Community College. In one season there, he averaged 8.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 3.5 steals per game in earning All-Conference honors. [4] After one season of JUCO ball, Osimani again committed to play NCAA ball, this time at Duquesne University. He started at point guard for two years for the Dukes, and had two successful seasons for the team, including a 172 assist junior season that put him at second on Duquesne's all-time single season assist chart. [5]

Professional career

After graduating, Osimani returned home to Uruguay to play for Club Bigua of the Liga Uruguaya de Basketball Along with Leandro García Morales, he helped lead Club Bigua to the 2008 Uruguayan League title. In four years as a professional, he has played for teams in Uruguay, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico. As starting point guard, he helped lead Club Sandwich to the 2008 Uruguayan League title.

Osimani has played for various age groups on the Uruguayan national basketball team since 1998. He has been selected for the Uruguayans for the last three continental championships, the 2005, 2007, and FIBA Americas Championship 2009. [6]
