On Thursday afternoon, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that the Atlanta Hawks and Caleb Houstan agreed to a one-year deal. Houston is a former 5-star recruit who, since arriving in the NBA, has made a name for himself as a sharpshooter. Over his 168 career games, he has shot 37.2% from three.
Coming into the offseason, three-point shooting was one of the Pelicans' biggest needs. So, on Thursday morning, when I realized Houstan was still a free agent, I got to work. I started drafting a piece on why he could be a sneaky signing for the Pelicans, and before I could finish, he had signed with the Hawks.
