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]

On July 1, 2015, Odum signed with Medi Bayreuth of Germany.[8]
