Hawks Officially Sign Kobe Johnson to Exhibit 10 Deal

Overview
- Atlanta announced the signing on Sept. 11, with the Exhibit 10 designation confirmed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
- Johnson is expected to join the College Park Skyhawks as an affiliate player once waived and assigned to the G League.
- The agreement includes eligibility for a bonus of up to $85,300 if he is waived and stays with the Skyhawks for at least 60 consecutive days.
- Exhibit 10 contracts can convert to two-way deals, though the Hawks already have two-way slots filled by Eli John Ndiaye and Lamont Butler.
- The undrafted guard-transfer from USC to UCLA earned Big Ten All-Defensive honors as a senior and averaged 9.0 points in four Hawks Summer League games.
