Herm Gilliam played four seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, all of which saw him score over 10 Points per Game in a season.  In two of those campaigns, he hit the 14 PPG mark and was known as a decent distributor of the rock.  Gilliam would finish his career winning a championship with the Portland Trail Blazers.

A future NBA Champion and All-Star with the Boston Celtics, Paul Silas began his first five seasons in the NBA with the St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks.  Silas would eventually become a regular double double player, but the first time he averaged that in a career was with the Hawks.

An Atlanta Hawk for the first five years of his NBA career, Randy Wittman would have three consecutive seasons where he scored over 10 Points per Game.  Although, he was a Shooting Guard, he did not have a vast range and his three point shooting was abysmal.  On the positive side of the ledger, Wittman averaged 13.9 PPG in the playoffs, a notable increase from his regular season numbers and he would finish in the top ten in Turnover Percentage twice.

The longest stretch of Tom McMillen’s career was six seasons with the Atlanta Hawks. The Center from the Universoty of Maryland had a pair of 9.9 Points per Game scoring seasons, while mainly used in a key bench role.  McMillen would later go on to become a U.S. Congressman.
