The Atlanta Hawks signed Kobe Johnson to an Exhibit 10 contract today, per Lauren Williams of Atlanta Journal-Construction. Kobe was a four-year player at USC and UCLA, earning his way into the starting lineup with his game-changing defense.
Because Kobe Johnson is the brother of Jalen, star forward for the Hawks, a cloud of suspected nepotism hangs over his head for some observers until he proves himself. Don't fall victim to this trap - Kobe is a legitimate G League-caliber player at the least and has serious potential if he can develop a consistent three point shot.
