House of ‘Paign adds SDSU legend Mike Daum

If you weren’t already excited enough for this team, House of ‘Paign just announced the addition South Dakota State alum Mike Daum to this summer’s The Basketball Tournament circuit.

At 6-foot-9, 235 pounds, Daum adds much-needed frontcourt depth to complement guys like Leron Black and Nnanna Egwu. A three-time Summit Conference Player of the Year and four-time First-Team All-Conference selection, Daum is widely considered one of the best scorers in NCAA history. The Nebraskan posted averages of 23+ points three times in his collegiate career, including junior and senior seasons with 10.3 and 11.7 rebounds per game, respectively. As a 41% three-point shooter, he’s also not afraid to step outside and light it up from behind the arc. He became just the 10th player in NCAA history to eclipse the 3,000-point mark back in February of last year.

After going undrafted last year, Daum signed a summer league contract with the Portland Trail Blazers. He now plays overseas with Monbus Obradoiro of the Liga ACB.
