Jacob is one of our promising young up and coming players. Having come through the Hawke’s Bay Basketball system Jacob is no stranger to Hawks Fans. Jacob plays with a lot of speed and passion. His athletic ability and 3 point shooting are among his greatest strengths. Although not overly tall for a basketball player, Jacob’s hunger for the offensive rebound gives his team a number of extra possessions in a game that is often decided by rebounds. Also working towards his Plumbing apprenticeship, Jacob has found the time to get himself in the best shape of his career, dominating in preseason drills. 

“Knocking on the door for the last few years, this is a big year for him to show that he is capable of moving up the roster in the future. He has worked hard up to this point, now it’s his chance to make the most of this opportunity and be ready when called upon”, Everard.
