Hawks Sign Lamont Butler, Deivon Smith, M.J. Walker
The Hawks added three guards to their preseason roster: Lamont Butler, Deivon Smith, and M.J. Walker.
The Hawks signed the trio to likely non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deals, worth up to $85,300 in bonuses if waived before the season and spending 60 days with the College Park Skyhawks.
- Lamont Butler, formerly of San Diego State and Kentucky, had previously signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Hawks in late September, but was cut shortly after.
- Deivon Smith, a Georgia native, played for four colleges: Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Utah, and St.
No official statement on the reasoning behind Butler's re-signing was provided.
