Eric Mika left BYU basketball for pro hoops. Today, the center inked a deal with Pallancestro Pesaro, a team in Italy.
Depending on who you asked, Mika’s end goal was never the National Basketball Association. And that makes sense, considering no credible draft analysts had Mika in the top 60 draft eligible players.
Then his NBA Summer League tenure with Miami was uninspiring.
It seems like he always had his eye on Europe for his pro career.
Now he’s made that dream a reality, joining Pallancestro Pesaro.
Pesaro plays in Lega Basket Serie A, which is the best league Italy has to offer.
