Did Jon Koncak live up to what you want from a 5th overall pick?  He didn’t but you can’t leave off a player with 717 career games for a franchise, half of them as a starting Center.  The man called “Jon Contract” because he did receive a hefty contract for a player who was not a full time starter, did however put up a solid defensive presence.  Still, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear some people upset that he is on this list at all.

There is no doubt that Moses Malone is a legend in the world of basketball, but when you think of Malone it is not the Atlanta Hawks that you think of.  While that is not necessarily the wrong thought process, Malone did have three decent seasons in Atlanta, the first of which was an All Star one.  Two of his three years in Atlanta were double double campaigns, both of which had a PER over 20. 

A member of the Atlanta Hawks for six and half seasons, Steve Hawes would averaged an even 10 Points per Game during his tenure in the ATL.  Hawes may not have put up the blocking numbers that you want to see from a big man, but he did have efficient shooting and rebounding ability, which did not gain him the respect he probably should have received.

A member of the Atlanta Hawks for 332 Games, Kyle Korver was a bit of a surprising All Star choice in 2015, but he was so respected for his long range shooting for years that it was not that strange of a selection.  The Shooting Guard would lead the NBA in Three Point Fielding Percentage twice as a Hawk (and once in the season he was traded to Cleveland) and he was also a two time leader in True Shooting Percentage.  He would average 10.9 Points per Game with Atlanta.
