Isiaha Mike is one of four Canadians hoping to hear their name called in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Who is Mike? Here are some fast facts on the Canadian draft prospect.
Background
Mike was born on Aug. 11, 1997, in Toronto, Ontario.
Growing up in Scarborough, Mike played AAU ball for Hoops Canada Elite and Simply Fundamental Basketball Academy.
In 2016, North Pole Hoops ranked Mike as the No. 3 prospect in Canada behind Thon Maker and Justin Jackson.
College career
After attending Trinity International, a prep school in Las Vegas, Nevada, Mike began his collegiate career at Duquesne, a Division I college in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He transferred to Southern Methodist University (SMU) in University Park, Texas following his freshman season and posted averages of 11.7 points and 5.4 rebounds as a sophomore and 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds as a junior after redshirting a year.
As a junior at SMU, Mike made the All-AAC Third Team.
Following his junior season, Mike signed a contract with the Chemnitz 99ers of the Basketball Bundesliga, the highest level of professional league in Germany. If he is drafted, he won't be eligible to join an NBA roster until the 2021-22 season, making him a draft-and-stash option for teams.
SMU junior Isiaha Mike has signed a professional contract with Chemnitz in the German BBL, his agent Adam Papas tells ESPN. He'll decide on October 6th whether to stay in the 2020 NBA Draft or withdraw and become auto-eligible in 2021. Mike was voted 3rd team All-AAC this season.
