Houstan, who spent most of the season with the G-League’s College Park Skyhawks, has been a shooter known for floor spacing and three-point efficiency (nearly 40% from deep this season). He earned the two-way contract after a standout preseason performance that included a game-winning shot, and his conversion gives Atlanta another lightly used scoring option off the bench.
With the Hawks’ roster currently full, a cut will be required to open a spot. Candidates mentioned include Gabe Vincent or Keaton Wallace, but the team could also explore other paths to accommodate Houstan’s addition. In limited action this season, Houstan has appeared in 10 games for Atlanta, and the conversion could position him as a rotational shooter if he earns extended minutes.
Entering his fourth NBA season, Houstan brings experience and shooting depth to Atlanta’s wing rotation. While he may not immediately become a focal piece, his addition provides a potential spark off the bench and additional rest-day options for wing players. The team’s next game could see Houstan active as they navigate the final weeks of the regular season and push toward postseason relevance.
