29. Moses Malone

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 with PERs over 20. 

33. Steve Hawes

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

38. Kyle Korver

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.

32. Stacey Augmon

Spending the first third of his fifteen-year NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks, Stacey Augmon’s five years in the “ATL” were by 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.
