The 6-foot-8 227-pounder agreed to terms on a two-year $5-million contract to join

the Atlanta Hawks late Friday night in the aftermath of the news that superstar center

Dwight Howard would be signing with the Houston Rockets according to the

Atlanta Journal-Constitution (httpwwwajccomnewssportshawks-

agree-to-deal-with-milsapnYfQT)

Carroll entering his seventh year as a pro was efficient in 2012-2013 when he

averaged a career-high six points and 28 rebounds in just 168 minutes per game off

the bench for the Jazz as they went 43-39 and failed to reach the playoffs for just the

second time in the past seven years

He was taken with the 27th overall by Memphis in the 2009 NBA Draft Hes also had

stints with Houston and Denver

In high school he won back-to-back state championships as a junior and senior at John

Carroll High School where played alongside former Alabama standout point guard

Ronald Steele He earned MVP honors at the 2004 state tournament and the

prestigious Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game before signing with Vanderbilt and

transferring to Missouri after his freshman season

Hell have a familiar teammate in Atlanta Free agent forward Paul Millsap has agreed to

leave Utah and ink a two-year $19-million deal with the Hawks

The deal cant become official until July 10th when free agents can begin signing

contracts

Carroll took to Twitter to announce the deal

I like to Thank all my Fans in Utah I like to thank Dennis

Kevin amp Ty for giving me the Oppurtunity Atlanta here

comes the JunkYardDog
