NBL EXPERIENCE
Zac Delaney made his NBL debut with the Wollongong Hawks at 19 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
During his time with the Hawks Delaney helped the team reach the Grand Final after they finished in second place (16-12) during the 2009/10 season. The Hawks eliminated the third placed Townsville Crocodiles with Delaney playing minimal court time and playing in only the opening game. The Hawks would then advance to the NBL finals series to face the Perth Wildcats.
After Perth claimed game one in Perth, 75–64, the series moved to Wollongong for game two, where the Hawks returned the favour, defeating Perth 75–63 and setting up a deciding Game 3. Back on their home court Perth comfortably defeated Wollongong in the decider, 96–72, and Perth’s Kevin Lisch being named Finals MVP. Delaney did not play in any of the Grand Final games.
Zac Delaney played four seasons with the Wollongong Hawks.
