Philadelphia 76ers free agent Damien Wilkins has reached agreement on a straight training camp deal to return to the Atlanta Hawks, a league source told RealGM.

Wilkins had been working out in Atlanta for the Hawks, a team that has been in search for players to complete its wing depth.

Out of the University of Georgia, Wilkins, 33, has averaged 6.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in nine seasons in the NBA. At 6-foot-6, Wilkins always has exhibited flashes of athleticism and scoring.

Wilkins spent the 2010-11 season with the Hawks and is the nephew of Dominique Wilkins. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/22 ... Hawks-Camp

Ummm...where has he flashed these exactly? The D-League?

He can provide wing defense. But at 33, his playing days in this country are coming to an end.

In truth, I always liked his playing style, and wish he'd been a mainstay in Atlanta for most of his career. His energy and defense could have been of great use. He and Zaza would have made a great Bench Mob.
