Strawberry Joins Uralmash Team in Russian Professional League
MACON, Ga. – Jordan Strawberry, a four-year letterman for the Mercer men's basketball team, became the latest of Coach Bob Hoffman's former players to sign a professional contract as he will play for the Uralmash Team in the Russian Professional League. The team announced the news on Saturday.
A native of Anaheim, Calif., Strawberry started all 34 games for the Bears last season as a senior and was the team's second-leading scorer (11.8 points per game) and led the club in assists (4.9). He was named to the All-Southern Conference Second Team and helped the Bears to a 19-15 record and a 2018 postseason tournament appearance.
The 6-1, 175-pound guard tallied 1,200 points during his career, which ranks 18th in school history. He also dished out 494 career assists, third-best in program history. Strawberry is one of only three players in Mercer history to score more than 1,000 points and hand out 400 assists during his career. Strawberry's career free-throw percentage of .863 is tied for first in school history. He recorded single-game bests of 32 points and 11 assists during his career.
