Atlanta Hawks sign Tyson Etienne
Former Wichita State guard Tyson Etienne has signed an Exhibit-10 deal with the Atlanta Hawks as an undrafted free agent, following Thursday’s NBA Draft.
Etienne’s contract essentially allows him to try out for the team. The Exhibit-10 deal gives him an invitation to the Hawks’ Summer League and training camp.
Etienne will compete in the Hawks NBA Summer League in Las Vegas from July 7-17. If successful, Etienne could be drafted to the College Park Skyhawks, the team’s G League affiliate. He could also earn up to a $50,000 bonus if he remains with the club for 60 days, according to the Wichita Eagle.
While serving the Shockers from 2019-22, Etienne scored 1,053 points, in three seasons, putting his name into the record books as one of the program’s all-time best three-point shooters. He was also the fourth Shocker to make 200 threes to end his school’s career and single-season record-holder in triples-per-game. Nationally, Etienne ranked in the top-50 in threes per game and second-highest in Shocker history.
Recently, as a second-year sophomore, Etienne was voted Third Team All-Conference, in the American, and NABC Second Team All-District. He appeared in 27 games while starting in 26 with 34.4 minutes per match. He racked up 20-point performances in seven games, scored double-figures in 22 games, and 11-straight games to end the season.

He was great today for the Hawks in our Summer League game vs. the Spurs!
I hope the Hawks keep him – and let him play THIS year. Unbelievable he wasn’t drafted.
I know Travis likes 3-point specialists… who doesn’t? Well, Tyson is one!
