TRENTO – Dolomiti Energia Trentino announces that it has reached an agreement until the end of the season with an option for 2024-25 with the American winger Daulton Hommes.
Born in Bellingham, Washington State, on July 4, 1996, 204 centimeters and 99 kilograms, Hommes began his professional career in 2019 playing for the Austin Spurs in the G-League (8.3 points average in 36 games). In 2020-21, his first season in Europe is that of his consecration: at Vanoli Cremona, coached by coach Paolo Galbiati, Hommes averages 16.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in Serie A, shooting 42.7% from Three. Numbers that earned him an NBA contract with the New Orleans Hornets for the following season, in which Daulton starred above all with the shirt of the development team of the Louisiana franchise (13.4 points per game with the Birmingham Squadron). In 2022-23 the return to Europe is with the Baskonia shirt: with the strong Basque team Hommes plays 55 official matches between the Spanish championship and the Euroleague averaging 7.9 points in 19 minutes of use.
Daulton, who has been working to recover from a knee operation in recent months, is currently in the United States waiting to receive a visa and be able to join the team ahead of the match in Bologna and the Scudetto playoffs: he will play with number 34.
PAOLO GALBIATI (DOLOMITI ENERGIA TRENTINO Coach): «I am very happy to have found in Daulton the same ambitious boy with the desire to get involved that I left in Cremona a few years ago. On a technical level, we certainly don’t discover it: he has a remarkable shot, physicality, his latest experiences have further developed him; he has to regain the feeling with the basketball he plays but I’m sure he will try to immerse himself in our spirit and our team identity. Without putting too many expectations on him, but aware of what he can give us.”
