The Hawks have announced Emmett Naar as their first player signing for the 2020-21 Hungry Jack\u2019s NBL Season.<\/p>\n
Naar has been a key part of The Hawks\u2019 roster over the past two seasons, playing 53 of a possible 56 games.<\/p>\n
The point guard showcased his talent over a six-game span in December and January last season, amassing double digit scoring in five of those six appearances.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old represented Australia at the 2013 FIBA Under 19 World Championships and holds the Saint Mary\u2019s school record for assists, dishing out 816 dimes across his four-year college career from 2014-2018.<\/p>\n
Hawks Head Coach Brian Goorjian said: \u201cWe are thrilled to have Emmett return to The Hawks. He is a terrific young talent and it was no surprise that he was the subject of a lot of interest from other teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmmett\u2019s decision to remain with The Hawks is a great endorsement of the club\u2019s direction and we look forward to making more exciting announcements over the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Naar said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited about coming back and giving it another crack at The Hawks. I\u2019m really pumped.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalking to Goorj a lot, and he would relay things onto me, and just what he had to say was super positive both about his vision for the team and the ownership groups.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as I started talking to him, I realised we could get something really good going and hopefully it will transition to some wins and a lot of success in the upcoming seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
