Nicolas Brussino: Picked up by Hawks

Brussino, who was let go by the Mavericks on July 20, has been picked up by the
Hawks. He showed some promise last season in limited minutes, but Dallas
seemingly felt he wasn’t worth the money he would have been guaranteed had they
held onto him. The Hawks, however, are deep in rebuilding mode and jumped on the
opportunity to add a wing player to the mix. Brussino averaged 2.8 points and
1.7 boards across 9.6 minutes per game last season. His potential workload for
the upcoming season is pretty up in the air, though it seems possible he could
garner a similar role for the Hawks.
