Professional career
After going undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft,[1] Echenique signed with the German team MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg, that played in the Basketball Bundesliga.[2] He was cut by the team in December 2013, after playing 10 games with the team.[3]
In January 2014, he signed a two-month contract with Telenet Oostende, the defending Belgian champion.[4] After this period, he left to play in Puerto Rico for Vaqueros de Bayamon, but when he didn't receive a visa immediately he continued to train with and support them at their games on the bench. After the injury of Brent Wright, he returned to the roster of Telenet Oostende in April 2014.[5] On December 27, 2014 he parted ways with Oostende.[6] A day later he signed with Venezuelan team Guaros de Lara.[7]
