With training camp set to tip off in roughly one month, it’s time for teams to work towards filling up the 21-man offseason roster.
The Atlanta Hawks have announced they’ve chosen to bring in two players who played for their Summer League team that went 4-1 in Las Vegas a couple of months ago: Javan Johnson and Dwight Murray Jr.
The Austell native Dwight Murray Jr. is familiar with the organization, having spent last season with the Skyhawks. In 43 total games played there, the 6-foot guard averaged
9.0 points and 5.1 assists per game. Murray also appeared in three games for the Summer Hawks playing a minor role off the bench.
Javan Johnson is a 6-foot-6 3-and-D wing with some experience playing both overseas and in the G League under his belt. He was also a member of the team out west this summer, registering 18.4 minutes, 7.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in three contests.
These will reportedly be training camp contracts — mostly likely Exhibit 10 contracts that are unguaranteed towards the cap but can reward the player with a small guarantee for sticking with the College Park Skyhawks this season.
