Miles Cartwright signs with Dutch basketball team

 

2014 Penn graduate guard Mile Cartwright has signed with Dutch basketball team Aris Leeuwarden, according to his instagram account earlier today.

The news was later made official from the team's website.  The press release (as translated to English) refers to Cartwright's smart play and defensive skills as key reasons for his addition to the roster.

The team is (as the name would suggest) based in the city of Leeuwarden, which is situated in the northern part of the Netherlands.  Founded in 2004, the team is one of the most recent additions to the nine-team Dutch Basketball League.

Earlier in the summer, the Daily Pennsylvanian talked to Cartwright about his plans to play abroad. At the time, Cartwright stated an interest in finding somewhere to play in Western Europe and his recent signing certainly fits that mold.

Cartwright had a successful career as a Quaker, averaging 11.9 points per game and serving as a four-year starter on the wing.
