The Hawks have signed 30-year old shooting guard Willie Green.  Green played in 77 games (13 starts) for the Hornets last year and he averaged 21.7 minutes, 8.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.  He has now played in 499 games (224 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 21.7 minutes, 9.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.  This was a solid signing for the Hawks as Green should have been signed by someone else already.
