Episodes will be released weekly, and Johnson's episode is directed by Jess Speight, a former Michigan defensive lineman. The other four basketball players who will be profiled are Iowa's Bennett Stirtz, Texas Tech's Christian Anderson Jr., St. John's Zuby Ejiofor and Baylor's Cameron Carr.

The Atlanta Hawks have signed center Will Baker to an Exhibit 10 contract. Baker will join the Hawks initially, but will likely land with the College Park Skyhawks after the preseason for the upcoming G League season.
Ettore Messina is reportedly heading back to the NBA after ending his long tenure with Olimpia Milan. According to Italian newspaper “Repubblica,” the 66-year-old has joined the Atlanta Hawks as a consultant.
databallr: Devin Carter is a member of the often underrated “possession maxxer that can’t shoot” mold. High orb rate, high steal + charge rate. It’s not really intuitive just how much of an impact floor those attributes can give a player. EPM and Darko both have him near neutral, predicting he’s ~4% better than the ghastly 50% TS he put up last year. However, I assume the Hawks have a mountain of internal shooting data on him which gives them an edge in predicting just how poor his efficiency will look going forward. In any case, I think he’s worth picking up.
Jake Fischer: The Boston Celtics have shown interest in signing Devin Carter, sources say, once the Providence product clears waivers.

Brad Rowland: The Hawks officially waived Devin Carter. Atlanta has a well-documented roster crunch and still has 16 for 15 spots even after waiving Carter. In June, the Hawks received a 2033 second round pick from SAC to take Carter’s ~$5.1M contract. ATL also waived Lamont Butler today.
Third Apron: The Hawks will incur a $5.2 million dead cap hit for this season and decline his $7.4 million team option for next season. Devin Carter can sign with any team except the Kings. He still has two years of two-way eligibility remaining.
Michael Scotto: The Atlanta Hawks have waived Devin Carter, league sources told @hoopshype . The 24-year-old guard averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 18.4 minutes during 38 games played for the Sacramento Kings last season.
Brad Rowland: The Hawks announced their training camp details this morning. They're headed to Nashville (Vanderbilt Univ.) for the first few days of camp. First time they've had camp in Tennessee since 1999. Media Day is Monday, Sept. 28 in Atlanta. Then Nashville for 4 days beginning on Sept 29.
