The A-Sun Player of the Year hopes to keep playing into next season, either in or out of the country.
The reigning Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year, and Vandalia, Missouri native isn't lacking for basketball suitors, foreign or domestic with his collegiate career in the books. Mike Smith tells KHQA that he's drawn interest from those who put together rosters for the NBA's D-League but that he feels his better options are all overseas at this point.
The East Tennessee State alum has drawn interest from the BBL, which is the top club League in Germany, as well as the top Pro League in Israel. He also has been courted by a franchise in a second tier French Professional league. Smith tells KHQA that he expects to sign a contract with one of the three either this week or early next.
