The Hawks have rounded out their training-camp roster with the signing of Armoni Brooks.
Brooks appeared in 54 games (11 starts) last season with Rockets (41 games) before he was waived and re-signed with the Skyhawks. He was called up to the Raptors and played on a pair of 10-day contract before the team waived him in July. He averaged 5.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.6 minutes last season.
Brooks originally went undrafted in 2019 before he signed with the Rockets in 2021. In 20 games, he averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.0 minutes, making 40.6% of his shots from the floor.
The former 18 American Athletic Conference Sixth Man of the Year at the University of Houston appeared in four preseason games with the Hawks during the 2019-20 season and has appeared in 60 NBA G League contests, for the Skyhawks (2019-20, 2021-22) and the Vipers, the G League affiliate of the Rockets (2020-21).
The Hawks now have 20 players on their roster heading into camp, with 14 on guaranteed deals, two on two-way contracts and four signed to Exhibit 10 agreements.
