TREVISO (Lega A) - Promising Italian guard Daniel Hackett has signed a one-year contract with Benetton Treviso, the club has confirmed.
The point guard may be selected in this week's NBA Draft, but like Panathinaikos' recent signing Nick Calathes, he will begin his career in Europe.
Hackett grew up in Italy before moving with his family to the United States to play high school basketball. He then accepted a scholarship to play for the University of Southern California before deciding to turn professional after his junior season with the Trojans.
Italy coach Carlo Recalcati is hopeful that Hackett will represent the Azzurri this summer when they compete in the Additional Qualifying Round for the EuroBasket.
