As expected, the Pistons signed free-agent small forward Darvin Ham to a one-year contract worth $825,000 on Tuesday.

Ham, a 6-foot-7, 240-pounder originally from Saginaw, will go into camp Oct. 2 as the third small forward behind Tayshaun Prince and Corliss Williamson.

Ham, 30, has played 316 NBA games for five teams over the last six seasons. He played 75 games for the Hawks last season, averaging 2.4 points and 2.0 rebounds.
