The Atlanta Hawks are converting shooting wing Caleb Houstan to a contract for the remainder of the season, according to sources via ESPN.
Houstan, 23, is currently navigating his fourth NBA season and has emerged as a reliable perimeter threat. The move to secure Houstan for the rest of the campaign follows his consistent performance from beyond the arc. Per Shams Charania, Houstan shot 40% from three-point range over the last two years during his tenure with the Orlando Magic.
The young wing has maintained that high level of efficiency this season, recording a 40% shooting clip from deep while playing in the NBA G League. By converting his deal, the Hawks bolster their wing depth with a proven floor-spacer as they progress through the second half of the season schedule.
Houstan originally entered the league as a standout prospect from Michigan and has spent the majority of his professional career developing his specialized shooting role. This contract conversion rewards his recent production and integration into the Atlanta system.
