Former Partizan player Mika Murinen has officially left Humska. The talented Finn will continue his career at the University of Arkansas.

Murinen personally confirmed to ESPN that he will be playing for this college, where he will collaborate with legendary coach John Calipari.

This year, the Finn played 14 games for Partizan, six of which were in the EuroLeague. He appeared in 15 games for the Finnish national team, averaging 6.6 points over eight games at the FIBA EuroBasket.

The renowned American television network conducted an analysis of the Finn, praising his abilities.

He is characterized by exceptional mobility and agility, and thanks to his speed, long strides, and scoring drive, he can outrun most opponents. He excels at catching lob passes and executing powerful dunks, displaying rare body control for his height. Offensively, he is excellent at rebounding and scoring on second-chance opportunities under the basket. Defensively, he possesses an instinct for intercepting passing lanes and making help-side blocks, utilizing his 7-foot-2 wingspan and a keen sense for timely risks.
