Former Michigan point guard Mike Smith signed a professional basketball contract overseas.
It was announced that Smith had agreed to sign with Astoria, who play in the Polish Basketball League. Astoria won the league title back in 2018.
The former starting point guard came to Michigan for the 2020-2021 season after playing four years for Columbia in the Ivy League.
In his year with the Wolverines, Smith averaged nine points, five assists, and shot 41% of three. He also holds the Big Ten tournament record for assists in a single game with 15 assists.
Smith was not selected in the 2021 NBA draft, but he played in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce after being selected in the second round of the G League Draft. The 5-foot-11 point guard averages nine points and four assists in 42 games in a year in the G-League.
