Jalek Felton played in 22 games at North Carolina.

Former North Carolina point guard Jalek Felton is headed overseas. Felton has signed a contract with professional basketball club Olimpija Lubiana in Slovenia, the team announced.

Olimpija Lubiana, also called Petrol Olimpija due to sponsorship reasons, competes in the Premier A Slovenian League and the Adriatic League.

Felton only played part of one season for Carolina after being suspended by the University for undisclosed reasons midway through the year. The South Carolina native played 22 games and started one contest for UNC before the suspension. He did not return to the school or the team.

A 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect, Felton arrived at UNC as a 247Sports Composite four-star guard. He was ranked as the No. 30 overall player in the 2017 class and the No. 1 combo guard.

At North Carolina, Felton averaged 9.7 minutes, 2.9 points, 1.6 assists, and 0.9 rebounds. He played a reserve point guard role for the Tar Heels, never establishing consistency in the rotation or earning extensive valuable minutes.

Jalek is the nephew of former UNC point guard, 2005 National Champion, and long-time NBA veteran Raymond Felton.

Instead of entering his sophomore season at Carolina, Felton will be testing his talents in Slovenia.

Petrol Olympics released two statements following the signing, one from the head coach and one from Felton. It has been translated from Slovenian.

"Jalek Felton is the next player brought to the Petrol Olympics," Zoran Martic, coach of Petrol Olimpija said in a release. "He comes from the famous North Carolina basketball university. Everyone in the club wants us to show our talent in the coming months and help the team's good results. "

"I am happy to join a club like Petrol Olimpija," Felton said. "This is a club with a rich tradition, where many NBA players have begun their careers. For me, this is a big step. I know that this will be a great challenge for me and I am ready to go there and work. The agent told me that Olimpija will play in various competitions and that makes me pleased. Playing in such competitions with Olympia in Europe will prepare me for playing in the NBA. The city looks nice and I heard that basketball there is a religion, so this will be an interesting experience."

Felton's impact at UNC in 22 games as a rookie were minimal, but he did show flashes of the athleticism and explosion that earned him a top 30 recruiting ranking coming out of Mullins, S.C. Felton's 13-point outing against Tulane, an impressive 12-point (4-for-5 from three) performance against Ohio State, this give-and-go dunk against Boston College, and a steal and dunk against Georgia Tech stand out.
