One more shooter for the arsenal.
The Hawks are reportedly set to sign a sharpshooting forward who has spent all three years of his NBA career with the division rivals Orlando Magic. Michael Scotto of HoopsHype broke this report:
JUST IN: The Atlanta Hawks and Caleb Houstan agreed to a one-year deal, sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. The 22-year-old shot 50.7% from 3-point range after the All-Star break and has improved his 3-point shooting in each of his first 3 NBA seasons. Agent Jason Glushon finalized the deal

Houstan is a catch-and-shoot specialist who has good size for the small forward position at 6’8”.
He was drafted in the second round by the Magic back in 2022, and in his three-year career, he has averaged just 4.1 points per game largely based on his career 0.85 three-point attempt rate (the rate of his field goal attempts that are threes). He has converted on 37% of those long range attempts across his career.
Peachtree Hoop’s own Hassan Ladiwala broke down his game further in a piece about deep rotation free agent options earlier this month.
The team has yet to announce the transaction, and the deal will likely just be a veteran minimum deal that may or may not be guaranteed.
