USC graduate Daniel Hackett has taken his Italian passport (born and raised there) and gone to Italy, where he is playing for Benetton Treviso. Benetton haven't had the best of seasons; they were knocked out of the Euroleague early and have also been knocked out of the Eurocup, and they rank a mediocre 8th in the Italian league. Hackett is finding it very difficult to score in the Italian league, averaging only 4.8 points in 20.5 minutes per game and with only 1 double figure outing in 19 games. He averages an additional 2.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game, yet he also averages 3.1 fouls per game and is shooting 28% from three point range. As first professional season's go, Naked Athletic is not doing too good.
