Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft, Odum played on the Indiana Pacers' Orlando Summer League team.[2][3] He then played on the Sacramento Kings' Las Vegas Summer League team.[4][5]

Odum began his pro career with the Greek League club PAOK for the 2014–15 season,[6] choosing to sign with the Greek club, rather than take his chances at that particular time in an NBA training camp, despite a couple of offers from NBA teams.[7]

After leading PAOK to a 3rd-place finish in the Greek League, Odum signed with Medi Bayreuth of Germany for the 2015–16 Bundesliga season.[8] Odum was one of the best players of the team and was then committed by the Franconian rival s.Oliver Würzburg for the 2016–17 Bundesliga season.[9]

On July 13, 2017, Odum signed with Turkish club Banvit.[10] On November 17, 2017, he left Banvit and signed with Russian club Nizhny Novgorod for the rest of the 2017–18 season.[11]

On November 13, 2017, Odum signed with Promitheas Patras B.C. in Greece.[12] On March 4, 2019, Odum left Promitheas Patras and signed with Pistoia Basket 2000 in Italy.[13]
