Journeyman Emanual Davis turned his back on a starting job in Seattle on Friday and agreed to be the Hawks' No. 1 point guard for next season.

"Looking at the players they have and the opportunity coach (Lon Kruger) is giving me to run my own team, it was something I couldn't turn down," Davis said after signing for the veteran's minimum of $715,000.

"We're very comfortable with Emanual at the point," general manager Pete Babcock said. "We like his intelligence, his ability to shoot the ball and the decisions he makes on the court. He's also a guy with strong character."
