The Hawks continue to make some moves towards filling the roster for 2008-09, as tonight they have signed F Othello Hunter and G Thomas Gardner to the roster. Both Hunter and Gardner played on Atlanta's summer league team at the Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City, and both earned lots of positive reviews for their efforts there.

Hunter is a rookie power forward out of Ohio State who played in the national title game with Greg Oden and Mike Conley, Jr. (losing to current Hawk Al Horford). For more info I recommend his Draft Express bio.

Gardner played his college ball at Missouri, and has a reputation as a scorer. He had a cup of coffee with the Bulls last season, and more importantly (ok, less importantly) impressed me in summer camp. I'll be interested to see how he does against the vets come training camp.

I'll have the full release shortly, which should have all the juicy details...

UPDATE: Here is the release, as promised. What do you think?
