The Hawks will sign center Nathan Knight, who went undrafted out of William & Mary, to a two-way contract.

Knight posted his thanks on social media following the news being posted by ESPN.

“Thank you to the Atlanta Hawks organization for giving me this opportunity,” Knight wrote. “Making my childhood dreams come true!”

Knight, 6-foot-10, 253 pounds, played four seasons at William & Mary. He averaged 23.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.

Among the players the Hawks did not make qualifying offers to was two-way player Charlie Brown. Knight will play with the College Park SkyHawks, the Hawks’ G-League affiliate.
