Spending the first third of his fifteen-year NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks, Stacey Augmon’s five years in the “ATL” was by the far his best.  Augmon was the ninth overall Draft Pick in 1991 and the man they dubbed “The Plastic Man” would have five consecutive seasons where he eclipsed 12 points per Game.

“Jumping” Joe Caldwell would spend the majority of his professional career with the Hawks, both in St. Louis and in Atlanta.  Always a good scorer, Caldwell had a solid defensive presence and was named to two All-Star Games following the team’s relocation to Atlanta, along with a Second Team Defensive Selection.  Caldwell would leave Atlanta for the ABA after posting a 21.2 PPG season for the Hawks.

While the highlight of Cliff Levingston arguably was the two championships he would win late in his career with the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls, there is no question that the prime of his career was the six seasons he spent in Atlanta. 

Shareef Abdur-Rahim was a better player than he really got credit for, but when you always play for bad teams, it is easy to forget you.  Abdur-Rahim actually holds the distinction of paying the most games in his career (Vancouver, Atlanta, Portland and Sacramento) before finally participating in the playoffs.
