Hawks Sign Point Guard To Camp Deal For 2nd Time In 4 Years

The Atlanta Hawks have added some guard depth to their roster as training camp is set to kick off, signing 3rd-year guard Armoni Brooks to a contract.

The Hawks announced that they have signed Armoni Brooks to an Exhibit 10 contract. That completely fills out the training camp roster spots at 20.

It's an Exhibit 10 deal for Brooks, the same as he signed with them in 2019. It brings the Hawks' camp roster to a maximum allowable 20. 

Brooks had a big dropoff last season following a fine rookie year with the Houston Rockets in 2020-21. He performed well in his hometown base, averaging 11.2 points and 3.4 rebounds, while hitting on 38.2% of his three-point shots.

He spent parts of last season with the Rockets and then the Toronto Raptors, but only mustered up a 29.7% mark from long distance, while averaging 5.3 points. 

He was waived by the Raptors in July, after Summer League. 

Brooks went undrafted in 2019 after a 3-year college career at the University of Houston, and signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Hawks at that time as well. He spent the year with their G League affiliate, the College Park SkyHawks, where he averaged 10.7 points and shot an impressive 39.7% from behind the arc. 

If he can get back to nailing threes at a high rate, he could have a chance at cracking the Hawks' roster.
