The Hawks have made a number of training camp signings in recent days. Now, they bring in a very familiar face to at least one major member of the team.

Johnson played with the Hawks during their Summer League campaign in July. There he averaged 9.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in four appearances. He’ll likely end up on the College Park Skyhawks roster this season with a chance to show his stuff as a 3-and-D wing.
