SML Sports is very excited to announce the signing of our guy, Marquis Ratcliff, with Clube Basket de Queluz in Portugal’s ProLiga!

The 6’7” Forward just wrapped up one of the most impressive college careers you will see, as he situated himself as the all-time leading scorer at Moravian with 1,945 points.

Marquis’s ability to score inside and out, defend multiple positions, and rebound the ball at a high rate will provide Queluz with a huge lift as they look to compete for a title.

Congrats, Marquis - the journey begins!
