Bahçeşehir Koleji announced on July 1, 2026 that Canadian long forward Isiaha Mike, fresh from Bayern Munich, has joined its roster for the 2026‑27 season. Mike posted averages of 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in Germany and now aims to replicate those numbers in red‑navy colors.
Transfer Details
Club officials highlighted that Mike's EuroLeague experience will serve as a benchmark for younger wing players in the BSL. Standing 2.05 m, the forward is known for his rim protection and perimeter slashing. His three‑point shooting at 38% adds tactical depth.
Mike's Recent Performance
Last season with Bayern Munich across 28 games, his stats were:
| Statistic | Average |
|---|---|
| Points | 9.6 |
| Rebounds | 3.9 |
| Assists | 1.5 |
| FG% | 42% |
| 3PT% | 38% |
These numbers show he can score both inside and outside. Defensively he averaged 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks, making it hard for opponents to dominate the paint.
What It Means for the Team
Head coach Ufuk Sarıca described the signing as "a boost to our length and a catalyst for pick‑and‑roll efficiency." Mike's passing ability will free up guards for quick ball distribution, creating fast‑break opportunities that stress rival defenses.
Outlook for the Upcoming Season
The preseason camp kicks off on July 10, with Mike taking part in tactical drills from day one. Bahçeşehir Koleji targets a top‑tier finish in the BSL, and Mike's contributions on scoring and rebounding will be pivotal. Fans are eager to see him on the court for the opening game.
Bottom Line
By adding Mike, Bahçeşehir Koleji has increased its international experience and physical presence, strengthening its competitive edge. How his impact unfolds in the BSL will become clear over the next few weeks.
