United States | October 30, 1995
Born in Kimball, Nebraska, USA, on October 30, 1995, the new Juventus power forward completed his college career at South Dakota State. In 2015/16, Daum was named Summit League Sixth Man of the Year – which includes NCAA teams from the Midwest – for his 15.2 points and 6.2 rebounds off the bench. His ability to consistently score both two- and three-pointers earned him the nickname “The Dauminator . ”
The following year, Mike became a starter for the Jackrabbits and increased his scoring output, scoring a season-high 51 points in a win over Fort Wayne. At the end of the season, he was named Summit League MVP, an honor he would earn again in his next two seasons at South Dakota State.
Years in which he achieved great personal satisfaction: in February 2018 he surpassed the milestone of 2000 points scored at the College, in December of the same year he became the best scorer ever in the history of the Summit League, surpassing Caleb Green, seen in Italy with the Sassari shirts and Avellino.
After surpassing 1000 rebounds in college, on February 23, 2019, Daum became the tenth NCAA Division I player to reach 3000 points. At the end of the season he was signed by the Portland Trail Blazers for the Summer League.
In 2019 he then signed a contract with Obradoiro, a team playing in the Liga ACB, where he remained for the last two years in which he showed off as a solid player, capable of scoring over 9 points on average. His double size and ability to shoot three-pointers with precision have made him an important player on the Spanish team's board.
After the two-year period in Spain, Mike has now chosen Italy and Bertram Derthona as the new stage of his career.
