Sand Dollar maintains the 2nd position in their group in the Bahamas league. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Sand Dollar already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Hutchinson had a remarkable 69.2% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Sand Dollar and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Hutchinson has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (4th best: 13.5rpg), assists (2nd best: 6.5apg) and averages solid 3.0spg and 57.1% FGP.
