ATHENS —
There is a slam dunk champion in Hawks training camp.
DeQuan Jones is hoping his high-flying athleticism and his defensive versatility will land him a roster spot in the NBA.
Jones, from Stone Mountain and Wheeler High School, played last season in the Italian Lega Basket Series A, where he was named to the All-Star Game and won the slam dunk contest. The forward signed a non-guaranteed training camp deal with the Hawks last month and is one of six players competing for a lone roster vacancy.
