On Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks announced they had signed center Charles Bassey to a contract. Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that it was an Exhibit 10 contract — a fully non-guaranteed training camp deal.
Last week, [the Hawks signed Summer League participants Javan Johnson and Dwight Murray Jr. to identical deals](/free-agency/64857/atlanta-hawks-javan-johnson-murray-jr-dwight-training-camp-latest-news). They were quickly waived and will almost assuredly head to the College Park Skyhawks, a common move to give the players a chance to earn some guaranteed money for playing for the Hawks’ G League affiliate. It’s likely Bassey is waived in the same manner soon.
Bassey is a four-year veteran of the NBA who last played for the San Antonio Spurs. The 6-foot-10 center has career averages of 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game in 113 career appearances.
