Air 21 Express
editA month after the 2005 draft, just before the start of the 2005–06 season, De Ocampo was traded back to the Express for the first pick in that year's draft, Jay Washington.[9]
Return to Talk 'N Text
editIn the 06–07 season, De Ocampo was reacquired by Talk 'N Text in a trade.[10] He scored a season-high of 26 points.[11] He would also go on to be named to the Mythical Second Team that season.[1]
