The Adelaide 36ers have signed 2018 NBL Rookie of the Year Isaac Humphries on a two-year deal which sees the big man return from the NBA G-League where he has spent the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
After his collegiate career at the University of Kentucky, Humphries joined the Sydney Kings for the 2017\/18 NBL season before moving on to play with the Erie Bayhawks and then the Lakeland Magic in the G-League.<\/p>\n
The Atlanta Hawks signed Humphries for the end of the 2018\/19 NBA season, which saw him suit up in five games in total.<\/p>\n
The 22 year-old said he was excitement to get to Adelaide and begin working towards NBL21 with new coach Conner Henry.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited to get down to Adelaide and to get around my new teammates and to see the city, I also can\u2019t wait to get started with Coach Henry I think we are putting together an excellent group of guys, I just can\u2019t wait to get there to start!\u201d Humphries said. <\/p>\n
Henry praised Humphries’ skillset and his fit with the other players that are on the Sixers roster.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a complete offensive five-man – he can play inside as a dominant scorer or stretch the floor out to three-point range.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout the recruiting process, we identified Isaac as the ideal fit for our team, and with DJ next to him going forward we feel we just got a lot stronger in the front court. He is a quality young man, a high-level player, and has plenty of upside still to come. We couldn\u2019t be happier to have him part of the 36ers team,\u201d Henry concluded.<\/p>\n
Adelaide’s roster for the coming season now includes Humphries, Daniel Johnson, Obi Kyei, Jack McVeigh, Alex Mudronja, Daniel Dillon, Brendan Teys and Next Stars signing Josh Giddey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
