With training camp a short time away, teams in the NBA are rounding out their rosters with a few guys lucky enough to get training camp invites and chances to compete for roster spots. According to Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, point guard Edgar Sosa is one of those players. The Atlanta Hawks signed Sosa to a camp deal Friday.

Sosa played college basketball for four years at Louisville. His defining career moment was the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2007. Sosa put up 31 points and was 15-for-15 from the foul line. With less than 30 seconds and trailing by one, Sosa went 0-for-2 from the line and the Aggies ended up winning the game.

Sosa played with former NBA players Derrick Caracter and Earl Clark.

Sosa went undrafted in 2010. He joined the Detroit Pistons in the Summer League that year, where he averaged 6.5 points and 2.8 assists per game. After failing to make an NBA roster, he signed to play in Italy. He also has played in Germany.

Most recently, Sosa played for the Dominican Republic in the FIBA Americas tournament. Hawks assistant coach Kenny Atkinson was the coach of the Dominican Republic team, which cleared the preliminary round of the tournament. During the tournament, Sosa averaged 15.1 points while shooting 54 percent from the floor.

If the Hawks decide to keep three point guards, Sosa will likely be competing with incumbent Shelvin Mack to earn a roster spot when the season comes. The Hawks roster currently sits at 19, meaning it will be trimmed by four before the season begins. The Hawks begin training camp next week.
