Player Info

Mike Tobey is a Slovenian-American center who has become an integral part of the Slovenian national team's success while building a steady career in Europe's top leagues. The 31-year-old, 213 cm big man played college basketball at the University of Virginia, where he was part of a dominant defensive system. After going undrafted in 2016, Tobey began his professional career in the NBA G League before finding his footing in Europe. He has played in Spain, Turkey, and Russia, known for his soft shooting touch, solid rebounding, and ability to stretch the floor for a player of his size. Tobey's greatest achievements have come with the Slovenian national team; he was a crucial role player alongside Luka Dončić in Slovenia's historic run to win the EuroBasket 2017 gold medal and a fourth-place finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Currently with Kalise Gran Canaria in Spain, Tobey's career is a model of a player maximizing his specific skill set—shooting and size—to contribute to winning basketball at the highest international level.
