Mel Hutchins was only with the Hawks for two seasons, but those first two campaigns in the National Basketball Association with the Milwaukee Hawks were incredible.

Starting a little over 40 percent of his games in Atlanta, Alan Henderson would have four seasons where he eclipsed over 10 Points per Game.  Henderson may not have been a superstar, but he almost played 500 Games for the Hawks, and was highly regarded in the locker room.  Had Henderson not played in an era with a glut of very good Power Forwards (his VORP is relatively low) he would probably be ranked higher.

The starting Power Forward for two seasons for Atlanta, Grant Long was known for his good defensive skills but still produced solid offense with two seasons over 11 Points per Game.  Long would come back for a second run albeit in a reserve role but still had a respectable 9.8 PPG in his one season return.

A member of the Atlanta Hawks for eight seasons, Georgian born (the country, not the state), Zaza Pachulia would enjoy the best stints of his career in Atlanta.  The Center would enjoy two seasons scoring over 10 Points per Season, even though he was used mostly off of the bench.
