On Jan. 15, the Atlanta Hawks signed Andrew White to a two-way contract. The ongoing injury struggles that kept DeAndre’ Bembry off of the court for the majority of the 2017-18 season opened potential playing time for young wings seeking an opportunity to break into the league. As a result, the decision to agree to the two-way contract would prove to be fruitful for White as he would end up playing 15 games and more than 200 minutes with the big league club.
It has been an interesting season to watch Atlanta seek opportunities to bring young players through “Hawks University” under new front office leadership.
