Although Bill Bridges was considered undersized for his position (he was only 6'6’), he was a tenacious rebounder, especially during his time with the Hawks.  Except for his first two seasons, the former Kansas Jayhawk would average a double-double, finishing in the top eight in Rebounds per Game six times as a Hawk.  The three-time All-Star would also be chosen for two Second Team Defensive squads.

Kevin Willis played in the NBA for a long time.  I mean, a really long time!  A veteran of the National Basketball Association for over twenty seasons, Willis played the first half (and his best half) with the Atlanta Hawks.  An All-Star in 1992, Wilis had four seasons where he averaged a double-double and was named a co-captain of the team.  Willis would be known for his incredible rebounding skills. 

Lenny Wilkens was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame three times: as a coach, as a player, and as a member of the 1992 United States Olympic Dream Team. 

An All-Star for six of seven seasons as an Atlanta Hawk, Joe Johnson was the central star of the organization.  Signing on as a Free Agent, Johnson strung together five consecutive seasons scoring over 20 Points per Game with his sweet shooter's touch.  While he was not able to take Atlanta deep into the playoffs, he did lead them there multiple times.  At one time, Johnson was the highest-paid player in the NBA, and he is a former All-NBA Third Team Selection.
