In September 2015, Stinnett auditioned for the Hawke's Bay Hawks and other teams during a tour of New Zealand that followed Guam's bronze medal performance at the 2015 FIBA 3x3 Oceania Championships in Australia. The tryout was successful, and in December 2015, he signed with the Hawks for the 2016 New Zealand NBL season.[9] He appeared in 17 of the Hawks' 18 games in 2016, averaging 7.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.[10]
