Quinn Cook officially signed a contract with the Atlanta Hawks on Sept. 5. According to basketball-reference.com, the contract is guaranteed for $100,000 through January 10 and, with that, it is a relatively minimal investment from the organization.
The decision to add a young point guard did not come as a surprise given that Hawks GM Travis Schlenk had publicly said that the 15th roster spot would likely be used at the position. But it was a surprise to some that Cook was made available by being waived by the New Orleans Pelicans on July 25.
