Lebanon is excited to welcome guard Derek Hawthorne Jr to the 2026 roster. Hawk, as he is known, was a standout athlete at Pike High School in both basketball and football!
He pursued his basketball career by attending John A Logan, a top-notch JuCo in Illinois, followed by a stellar career at the University of Tennessee Martin.
Hawk was an All-TBL fan favorite with the Kokomo Bobkats and also played for the TBL’s Medora Timberjacks. He played in the NBA G-League with the Wisconsin Herd during the 2023-24 season. The Leprechauns are happy to see him in GREEN this season!
