The Hawks continue to solidify their roster heading into next season. On Saturday, the team announced that it signed rookie guard Tyrese Martin to a multi-year contract.
The deal is for two years, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The Hawks drafted Martin, a 23-year-old from Allentown, Pa., at No. 51 out of Connecticut in last month’s NBA draft. He has been competing at Summer League in Las Vegas to prove why he should be on the roster.
Martin had a slow start to this month’s tournament, but he gained momentum as the team progressed through the tournament.
He opened Summer League going 1-of-9 from the floor July 9 before making 4-of-9 attempts in the field Monday. He then pushed the Hawks to their first victory of the tournament with a 21-point performance Tuesday, when he went 9-of-14 from the floor and knocked down two of his five 3-point attempts.
Martin gave the Hawks another boost Thursday, when he scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field.
The Hawks play their final Summer League game at 3 p.m. ET Saturday.
The Hawks are stacked with wings, so there will be plenty of competition as they decide on the final rotation for the season.
Here’s how the depth chart could look when the Hawks open the regular season in October.
