Former Indiana State basketball player Jake Odum has signed a professional contract to play with PAOK Thessaloniki in Greece next season.
Odum spent the summer playing in the NBA Summer League for the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings.
ISU athletic officials say Odum received multiple NBA training camp offers, but ultimately decided that PAOK offered him the best opportunity to develop as a player.
PAOK plays in the Euro League, which features most of the premier teams in Europe and has produced multiple NBA players including CJ Watson, Peja Stokakovic and Scott Skiles.
Odum is looking to build off a stellar career at Indiana State where he finished his career ranked fifth in career points (1,568), second in assists (603), fourth in steals (204) and surpassed Larry Bird for the school record in career free throws made with 590.
He is one of only two players in the history of the program to be named a four times to the All-MVC Team and was the first Sycamore to earn First Team All-MVC honors since 2001.
He is the only player in the history of the league to record at least 500 career made free throws as well as 500 assists.
Odum will leave for Greece in a few weeks.
