On Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks announced they had signed center Charles Bassey to a contract. Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that it was an Exhibit 10 contract — a fully non-guaranteed training camp deal.
Last week, the Hawks signed Summer League
participants Javan Johnson and Dwight Murray Jr. to identical deals. They were quickly waived and will almost assuredly head to the College Park Skyhawks, a common move to give the players a chance to earn some guaranteed money for playing for the Hawks’ G League affiliate. It’s likely Bassey is waived in the same manner soon.
Bassey is a four-year veteran of the NBA who last played for the San Antonio Spurs. The 6-foot-10 center has career averages of 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game in 113 career appearances.
