He ranked second on the EuroCup in scoring with 17.8 points and in PIR with 21.1 during that season. Cummings also dished 4.6 assists per game with Metropolitans, where he was a teammate of Hapoel forward Tomer Ginat.
Cummings arrives from South East Melbourne Phoenix, where he averaged 14.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists over 12 games in Australia’s National Basketball League this season. He also played two seasons in the EuroCup with Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar as well as for Trento in Italy, Aris Thessaloniki in Greece, Oldenburg in Germany and Zhejiang in China. Hapoel announced that Cummings is not scheduled to join the club until December 26.
“I am happy that during these complicated times, we managed to land Will,” Coach Danny Franco said. “Our routine is complex and the dependence on each and every player in the squad is great. Will's addition will allow us more flexibility and less dependence on one or another player. We have a good team and I'm sure Will will fit in quickly.”
