Atlanta, GA (My Sportsbook) - The Atlanta Hawks signed veteran center Jason Collins on Wednesday. Collins, 30, spent the first six-plus seasons of his career with New Jersey before being traded to Memphis in the middle of the 2007-08 campaign. He was then shipped to Minnesota that offseason and averaged a career-low 13 1/2 minutes in 31 games with the Timberwolves last year. "Jason provides us with additional size and a good interior defensive presence," Hawks general manager Rick Sund said. "He has extensive experience, having started in two NBA Finals with the Nets, and is another player with strong character and leadership qualities." In 572 career games, the Stanford product has produced 4.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest. |
