Former Arizona Wildcats forward Mark Tollefsen has signed with Maccabi Rishon LeZion of the Israeli Basketball Premier League, it was announced Saturday.

Tollefsen, 24, played for BC Kalev-Cramo in Estonia last season where he averaged 11.1 points and 4.4 rebounds, while shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3.

The terms of Tollefsen’s contract with Maccabi Rishon LeZion were not disclosed.

Tollefsen spent one season in Tucson, joining Arizona as a graduate transfer from San Francisco for the 2015-16 season.

The Wildcats had a disappointing season that year, finishing 25-9 overall and 12-6 in the Pac-12, plus a first round exit in the NCAA Tournament, but Tollefsen was an unsung hero.
