The Atlanta Hawks announced that they signed former UConn men’s basketball guard Tyrese Martin to a multi-year deal. Exact terms were not disclosed, but reportedly it is a partially-guaranteed two-year deal and not a two-way contract.
The Hawks acquired Martin via trade on NBA Draft night from the Golden State Warriors, who chose him with the 51st overall pick.
The Allentown, PA native transferred to UConn after two years at Rhode Island. He averaged 12.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game during his two seasons in Storrs and was viewed as a likely undrafted free agent at the end of the season.
