Daniel Hamilton got a message immediately after news broke that he agreed to a one-year deal with the Hawks last month.
Tyler Dorsey welcomed his former AAU and high school teammate to Atlanta.
The message: “This is a great organization,” said Dorsey, a second-round pick of the Hawks last year. “This will be fun.”
Hamilton, 23, signed his guaranteed deal on Monday. The 6-foot-7 guard/forward began workouts at the Hawks practice facility Tuesday.
Hamilton is from Los Angeles and attended Crenshaw High before moving to St. John Bosco for two seasons. It was there he played with Dorsey, who is from Pasadena.
