It is American player Hunter Hale, former player of Nelson Giants, a team of the New Zealand National Basketball League.
He has agreed with the Čačak team for one season and covers shooting guard position.
New Borac player played his college career at the Central Michigan, Grand Valley State and Wintrhrop universities. In 2020, he signed up for the NBA Draft, but hasn’t been selected. He spent the majority of the 2020/21 season at Nelson Giants, which has been his first professional contract.

Hanter Hejl novi igrač Borca
Borac nastavlja da se pojačava pred narednu ABA sezonu. Nakon što su ugovori sklopljeni sa Lautarom Lopezom i Markom Pecarskim, a produženi sa Nemanjom Todorovićem i Dudom Sanadzeom, u tim iz grada na Moravi je stigao još jedan košarkaš.
Reč je o Amerikancu Hanteru Hejlu (24 godine, 192 cm), doskorašnjem igraču ekipe Nelson Giants, koja se takmiči u Nacionalnoj košarkaškoj ligi Novog Zelanda (NZNBL).
On je sklopio ugovor sa Čačanima na godinu dana. Vredno pomena je i to da igra na poziciji beka šutera.
Novi igrač Borca pohađao je sledeće koledže: Central Michigan (2015-2016), Grand Valley State (2017-2018), i na kraju Winthrop (2019-2020). Godine 2020. se pojavio na draftu, ali nije draftovan. Dobar deo sezone 2020/21 proveo je u već pomenutoj ekipi Nelson Giants, sa kojom je potpisao prvi profesionalni ugovor.
Interesantan podatak da je Hanter Hejl na utakmici protiv ekipe Otago Nuggets ubacio protivniku čak 41 poen. Inače, prosečno je u novozelandskoj ligi beležio 26,9 poena.
