Hawks' Will Bynum: Gets camp deal from Atlanta

Bynum signed a non-guaranteed contract Friday with the Hawks, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Though he's never played for the Hawks, Bynum is likely revered by Atlanta fans for his excellent college career at Georgia Tech, who he held lead to the national championship game during his junior season in 2003-04. Since going undrafted in 2005, Bynum has appeared in 360 career NBA games over parts of eight seasons with the Warriors, Pistons and Wizards, averaging 8.1 points in 18.4 minutes per game. He spent last season in the Chinese Basketball Association with the Guangdong Southern Tigers after failing to generate much NBA interest. Despite his local ties, Bynum doesn't have a great shot at landing a roster spot with the Hawks, as he'll open training camp fourth on the depth chart at point guard behind Dennis Schroder, Jarrett Jack and Malcolm Delaney.
