J’Von McCormick’s basketball career is continuing at the next level. The former Auburn point guard has signed a contract with BC Odessa, a Ukrainian professional team, per the team’s Instagram.
McCormick joined the Tigers ahead of the 2018-19 season after spending two seasons at Lee College. In his first season with Auburn, McCormick came off the bench, averaging 4.1 points and 1.4 assists in limited playing time.
In his senior season, McCormick became a full-time starter where he started in 31-of-31 games for the Tigers. In the increased role, he averaged 11.7 points and 4.5 assists.
BC Odessa competes in the Ukraine Basketball SuperLeague, and after a brief pause after the 2015-16 season, the club reformed before the 2018-19 season.
