Aukai Wong should keep wishing because his dreams eventually come true.
The 6-foot-3 guard saw his dream of playing pro ball come true when he was signed to the Hawaii Hammerheads, an American Basketball Association expansion team.
The Hammerheads start their debut season with a two-game series on the road, Nov. 26-27, at the Louisiana Cajun All-Stars and the Shreveport Flight.
Then the Hammerheads’ 18-game schedule will close with 16 games at home: Neal Blaisdell Center, Radford High’s Gym and Hilo Civic.
Wong, a 2005 Hilo graduate, gave a slam dunk shout-out to his hometown, and Kevin Williams, the president of basketball operations, secured two dates in Hilo.
