“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 playing the most games in his career (Vancouver, Atlanta, Portland, and Sacramento) before finally participating in the playoffs. 

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 was 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 score over 14 Points per Game four times.
