The Hawks have announced the signing of Deng Deng for the 2020\/21 Hungry Jack\u2019s NBL season.<\/p>\n
Deng played for the Sydney Kings in the 2018\/19 season, appearing in 19 games for the club. He was signed by the New Zealand Breakers last season as an injury replacement player.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old has also played professionally in Poland, Lebanon, Finland, Qatar and America in the NBA G-League. Deng represented Australia in 2015 at the World University Games.<\/p>\n
Hawks Head Coach Brian Goorjian said: \u201cDeng will play an important role for The Hawks on and off the court next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe he has yet to hit his full potential in the NBL and look forward to helping him reach it. Deng is sure to be a player Hawks fans will enjoy watching next season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deng said: \u201cIt\u2019s really good to be with Goorj and the whole new ownership. I\u2019m really excited.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve known Goorj for quite a while now, I played under his brother Kevin Goorjian at Box Hill. I know what he brings to the table, (he\u2019s a) Hall of Fame coach and the style of game he plays, so I\u2019m excited to be playing for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve known Dorry (Kordahi) for a couple of years and I think the direction the club is going is really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
