The Hawks will bring a maximum 20 players to training camp next week. The team signed free-agent center Cole Aldrich to a training camp deal on Tuesday for the final spot.

The roster consists of 15 players under guaranteed contracts along with two-way players Alex Poythress and Jaylen Adams. R.J. Hunter and Thomas Robinson previously agreed to training camp deals to round out the group.

Aldrich has played eight NBA seasons with Oklahoma City, Houston, Sacramento, New York, the Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota. He averaged 3.1 points and 3.3 rebounds in 10.0 minutes in 339 career games, including 23 starts.

He was originally drafted by New Orleans in the first round (11th overall) of the 2010 NBA Draft, and was traded to Oklahoma City in a draft-night trade.

The Hawks open the 2018-19 season with a media day on Monday followed by three days of training camp. They will play five exhibition games, beginning against the Pelicans at McCamish Pavilion on Oct. 1. The Hawks open the regular season with a five-game road trip that begins at the Knicks on Oct. 17.
