"We are thrilled to welcome Noah Fernandes to The Knighthood," head coach Steve Pikiell said. "Noah brings a wealth of experience, excitement, an ability to really shoot the basketball and a great understanding of the game. He’s going to add a whole new dimension to our backcourt. He can really defend too."
