Quaintance is back at Al-Najma

Al-Najma (Premier League) added to their roster experienced 34-year old American forward Haminn Quaintance (206-85, college: Kent State). It is actually his comeback to Manama as he has played here before. Quaintance is not a newcomer in Bahrain League where he played last season at Isa Town in Bahrain Premier League. In three games he had very impressive stats: 33.3ppg, 19.3rpg, 6.3apg, 3.0spg and 2.0bpg. Quaintance also spent pre-season at Al-Riffa that year. In only one Premier League game he recorded 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
In 2009 (a year after he left the college) Quaintance was drafted by Reno Bighorns (D-League) in second round (26th overall).
He attended Kent State until 2008 and it will be his twelfth (!!!) season in pro basketball.
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others Quaintance's team made it to the ASEAN League Semifinals in 2017. He was selected to Icelandic League All-Star Game back in 2013.
Quaintance is quite experienced player. His career allowed him to visit four different continents, while he played in nine different countries. Quaintance tasted the life as pro basketball player in Europe, Asia, Australia and of course North America. He has played previously professionally in Australia (Frankston Blues), Finland (Kauhajoki), Germany, Israel, Japan (Dragonflies), Morocco, Iceland (Skallagrimur) and Vietnam (Saigon Heat).
On Quaintance: A scorer who can play with his back to the basket, put the ball on the floor or face up and hit the mid-range jumper. A well-rounded and athletic forward who fills up the stat sheet: he scores, rebounds, gets assists, steals and blocked shots. He can guard several positions well and can defend out on the perimeter or in the paint. He is an unusually gifted passer for a frontcourt player and he is very unselfish. He can be deployed successfully in the high post or low post.
