Hammonds (2.03 meters, 28 years old) is coming off a strong season with fellow Turkish side Gaziantep, as he averaged 11.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21 Turkish League games. The power forward had good shooting percentages in last season&#8217;s Turkish League, having shot 53.1% on two-pointers, 37.3% on triples and 89.5% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n<p>Hammonds does have previous experience in the EuroCup, as he posted 10.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and a 6.2 PIR during the 2019-20 campaign with Asseco Arka Gdynia. Now, he returns to the EuroCup with a Besiktas side that made a number of impressive signings, including head coach Dusan Alimpijevic, guards Derek Needham and Jonah Mathews and big man Angel Delgado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish side pens a deal with US forward coming off a season with fellow BSL side Gaziantep<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":338912,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31,84],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[20,15725],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-338915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bsl","category-eurocup","typology-ufficiale","typology-comunicato"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
