Noise finalizes roster
November 13, 2006 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Knoxville Noise News Release
Knoxville, TN. The ABA Knoxville Noise put the finishing touches on their roster for the 2006-2007 season with the addition of two versatile big men as well as two local stars. Kevin McDonald, Bakary Konte, Jemere Hendrix and Bassamba Sao finalize a talented roster that will create problems for opposing teams at all spots on the floor.
McDonald is a 6-8 point guard from Kennesaw State who can also play power forward. A solid player all around, very long and athletic, very active and a tenacious defender.
Konte comes to the Noise by way of Bamako, Mali and is a 6-9 swingman who play shooting guard and small forward. A great shooter inside and outside and can hurt you at either spot.
Hendrix is a 6-8 forward from Covington, GA and played college ball in both the SEC and ACC - playing for both Clemson and Tennessee. A defensive stopper and a force on the offensive glass.
Sao is another local addition, 6-6 and played at Knoxville College. Like a tree trunk down in the box, you can't move him and he is very coachable.

Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
