[edit] About The Player
He’ll be reunited with bosom body Eric Menk once more but more than their reunion, this hardworking 6-3 forward is just happy to be back in the league after a year of hiatus. Hatfield had an outstanding 2003 season, capped by a spot on the Mythical Team and All-Defensive Team.
But citizenship issues forced him out of the limelight and he faced a different career in the United States. He played only 16 games for Coke in the 2004-05 season, averaging 11.4 points and 8.9 boards. And now that he’s back, the Kings have another boardcrasher and a tenacious defender that can really help them a lot in countless ways.
