Texas Tech guard Davide Moretti is leaving the school to play professionally in his home country of Italy, according to multiple reports on Saturday.

Sportando reported Moretti will sign a multi-year deal with Olimpia Milano of Serie A. European agent Misko Raznatovic announced Saturday that Moretti would be his client.

A 22-year-old from Bologna, Italy, Moretti played the last three seasons for the Red Raiders. The 6-foot-3, 180-pounder averaged 13 points, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.1 minutes per game across 31 appearances this season, earning third-team All-Big 12 honors. His free-throw percentage (90.2) ranked sixth in Division I, and he also shot 38.3 percent from 3-point territory.

In 2018-19, Moretti shot a scorching 45.9 percent from 3-point range β€” ranking top-10 in Division I β€” and 92.4 percent from the charity stripe, which tied for the best mark in the country. He also helped Texas Tech reach the national championship game.
