Jeff Teague was a member of the Atlanta Hawks for the first seven years of his NBA career and in the 2014-15 season he would be named to his first All Star Game.  Teague was drafted in the middle of the 2009 First Round draft from Wake Forest and the crafty Point Guard would sport over 14 Points per Game four times.

Jason Terry would later win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year (2009) and a Championship with the Dallas Mavericks, but it was with the Atlanta Hawks where he first cut his teeth in professional basketball.  Terry was drafted 10th overall in 1999 and quickly became a feared shooter in the league.  While he would receive more accolades in Dallas, Terry’s best scoring season was with Atlanta (19.7 PPG) and aside from his rookie season, he would never fall below 16 Points per Game as a Hawk.

While “Pistol” Pete Maravich is best known for what he did in the State of Louisiana both with the New Orleans Jazz and LSU, but it should be remembered that the first four seasons he spent professionally was with the Atlanta Hawks. 

Paul Millsap played four seasons for the Atlanta Hawks (2013-14 to 2016-17) and he went "four for four" as in he was named an All Star in each of those seasons.  While the Hawks were always a lower end playoff team when he played there, he was successful in putting together good statistical seasons as he never has a campaign for ATL where he dipped under 16 Points or 7 Rebounds per Season.  

It was also in Atlanta where he would collect his first individual statistical title where the defensive minded Power Forward would lead the Association in Defensive Win Shares with 6.0.  Millsap's run with the Hawks ended due to the team restructuring but there is no doubt that that he made his mark there and his contributions to the team should not be forgotten.
