We kick off our fourth NBA Tuesday miniseries today with a little anxiety: the Top 10 players in each franchise’s history, based on Win Shares accrued while in uniform for that organization/team. Many of the names for these pieces will seem familiar; some of them will be complete mysteries. Either way, we start with the Hawks franchise, currently residing in Atlanta. This is going to be fun? Hang on to your hats!

No. 10: Kevin Willis, PF/C, 54.2 WS (1984-1988, 1989-1994, 2004-2005)

In 753 games over 11 seasons, Willis scored 14.1 ppg while grabbing 9.7 rpg as well. He was an All-Star during the 1991-1992 season as well. But his best season with the team was 1993-1994, when Willis compiled 10.2 WS and helped Atlanta to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Overall, he was a member of 6 playoff squads in Hawks history, posting 14.7 ppg and 9.1 rpg in 49 games. He won a ring in 2003 with San Antonio.

No. 9: Zelmo Beaty, C, 55.9 WS (1962-1969)

Perhaps better known for his ABA years, including the 1971 MVP and Finals MVP nods, Beaty was a two-time All Star for the Hawks in the St. Louis years before playing his final season for the team in its first year in Atlanta. In 7 seasons with the franchise, he averaged 17.4 ppg and 11.2 rpg. He was legally forced to sit out the 1969-1970 season before jumping to the ABA and going on to greater glories with the Utah Stars. Ouch.

No. 8: Mookie Blaylock, PG, 58.4 WS (1992-1999)

After three seasons in New Jersey to start his career, the Thief came to Atlanta for 7 successful seasons: 14.9 ppg, 7.3 apg, 4.6 rpg, and 2.6 spg. Twice with the Hawks, he topped the NBA in steals per game; he also made his only All-Star Game in 1993-1994 when Blaylock posted a career-high 9.7 assists per outing. Atlanta made the playoffs every year Mookie played there, although the Hawks never got to the conference finals.

No. 7: Tree Rollins, C, 58.8 WS (1977-1988)

We picked him as the DPOY in 1983, although Rollins never did much on offense during his time with the Hawks. Overall in 11 seasons, he averaged 7.0 ppg, 7.4 rpg, and 2.8 bpg. In that one season noted above, Rollins led the NBA with 4.3 blocks per contest. It was one of four seasons with Atlanta where he posted at least 3.0 bpg. He never was an All Star, but the Hawks went to the postseason 9 times with him on the court.

No. 6: John Drew, SF/PF, 60.7 WS (1974-1982)

Two times an All Star with the Hawks, Drew put up the following averages over 8 seasons in Atlanta: 21.2 ppg and 6.9 rpg. He played in 18 postseason games over 4 playoff appearances with the team, scoring 16.3 ppg and grabbing 6.4 rpg. Drew’s best season was his first All-Star year (1975-1976) when he compiled 10.6 Win Shares. His season-best scoring effort came the season after when Drew put up 24.2 ppg and 9.1 rpg.

No. 5: Al Horford, C, 64.2 WS (2007-2016)

He played his first 9 seasons in the NBA with the Hawks, making 4 All-Star teams before leaving to join the Boston Celtics. Horford’s numbers—14.3 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 2.7 apg, and 1.2 bpg—demonstrate his all-around contributions to the game, as Atlanta reached the playoffs 8 times with him on the roster (missing out only in 2013-2014). His best season as a Hawk? It was 2009-2010, when he posted 10.9 Win Shares. Impressive.

No. 4: Lou Hudson, SG/SF, 73.5 WS (1966-1977)

Sweet Lou made six straight All-Star squads from 1969-1974 while representing both the St. Louis and the Atlanta Hawks. In 11 seasons with the organization, he averaged 22.0 ppg, 4.4 rpg, and 2.7 apg. In the playoffs, over 52 games as a Hawk, he upped those numbers to 23.6 ppg, 5.9 rpg, and 2.8 apg. His best year was 1969-1970, when he posted 11.1 WS—despite Atlanta being swept in the postseason’s second round.

No. 3: Cliff Hagan, SF, 75.1 WS (1956-1966)

Ten seasons in St. Louis, including 5 All-Star years in a row from 1958-1962, propelled Li’l Abner to the Top 3 in franchise history. His stats? 18.0 ppg, 6.9 rpg, and 3.0 apg over 745 games. He helped the Hawks win the championship in 1958, too, which remains the organization’s singular NBA crown. In 90 games over 9 postseasons with St. Louis, Hagan averaged 20.4 ppg, 8.3 rpg, and 3.4 apg—so he was bringing it, big time.

No. 2: Dominique Wilkins, SF, 107.4 WS (1982-1994)

The Human Highlight Film/Reel himself, thanks to All-Star selections in his final 9 seasons with the Hawks. The numbers—26.4 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 2.6 apg, 1.4 spg—don’t do him justice, really, and it certainly wasn’t his fault Atlanta could never reach the NBA Finals with him on the roster. He actually averaged mostly the same stats in 51 postseason games: 26.4 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 2.6 apg, and 1.4 apg. That’s a steady All Star, for sure.

No. 1: Bob Pettit, PF/C, 136.0 WS (1954-1965)

By far the best player in franchise history, Pettit led the 1958 Hawks to the championship in 1958—but he also was our pick for league MVP in 1957 and 1959. His career started with the Milwaukee Hawks in 1954, as Pettit spent all 11 seasons of his career with the same franchise. He finished with averages of 26.4 ppg, 16.2 rpg, and 3.0 apg. He was also our pick for Finals MVP in 1957 and 1958 as well: a literal god of sport. Huzzah!
