Biography of Daulton Hommes
A globetrotter at heart, Daulton Hommes has been traveling the world since he was 29 years old. Born on July 4 in Bellingham, Washington, the power forward quickly saw his love for basketball hampered by injuries. However, it was really in 2015 that his career took off. More specifically, in NCAA Division II at Western Washington. After arriving on the bench, the American ended his second season as a unanimous All-GNAC player with an average of 18.1 points. That’s what you call a sensational debut!
The epilogue of his college career then took place at Point Loma Nazarene. It was a period full of success: 1st in the Pacific West Conference along with the MVP title for the area, 1st national finals for the university, Newcomer of the Year, and finally MVP of the NABC Division II. All this was accompanied by an average of nearly 21.9 points per game. The power forward then approached the 2019-2020 season with the goal of joining the NBA.
Recruited by the Milwaukee Bucks to compete in the Summer League, he eventually landed with the San Antonio Spurs, where he played nearly 36 games in the G-League with the Austin Spurs, scoring a peak of 23 points. The tide turned for the Washington native, who decided to cross the Atlantic and settle in Italy. At Vanoli Cremona, Daulton Hommes felt right at home on the NCAA courts. His 16.4 points and 16.2 rating perfectly sum up this more than fruitful interlude in LBA Seri A.
But it was really at Baskonia that his career took off, notably with his discovery of the EuroLeague. Valencia can attest to this with his 24-point burst in 19 minutes one evening of European competition. And after a final brief stint in Trentino, Italy, Daulton Hommes arrived in Paris in the summer of 2024.
However, a long-term injury kept him off the court for several months. DC then returned just in time for the play-offs, where he showcased his full talent, particularly in the decisive match against Monaco. Less hampered by physical niggles, the Bellingham-born player featured more regularly during his second season. And once again, Daulton shone in the post-season, as demonstrated by his two 20-plus-point performances in the semi-finals against Cholet.
DC will have the chance to cement his status as ‘Mr Playoffs’ in 2027.
