your all time Hawks team

[shakes]

Alright homers and recency bias merchants, here's your chance to shine.     I want to know who make up your all time 10 man lineup for the Hawks + coach.  Rules are you have to list your starter and bench and the roster must be traditional 2C, 2PF, 2SF, 2SG, 2PG.

I've only been a fan since 2018 so my opinion doesn't matter, let's here what the lifers have to say.  

[Gray Mule]

Leave me out.  I'm so old I have a hard time remembering who played for Atlanta last season.  I pass.

 

[Plainview1981]

I'm only going with players I've seen play.

PG: Mike Bibby/Trae Young/Doc

SG:Joe Johnson/Smitty

SF:Nique/Korver/Josh Smith

PF:Al Horford/Millsap

C:Mutombo/Kevin Willis

It seems we should get 12 spots atleast.

Anyone ever told you that you think about a lot of dudes (not that there's anything wrong with that)

 

Also this post is eliminated from consideration for violating thread rules.  Shame on you.

This is a really good list.  I would probably swap Smitty with the more natural SF and HOFer Cliff Hagan but I don't think you can really go wrong with Smitty.  He is pretty good at everything and an easy fit on any roster.  At backup SF, I'm pretty confident John Drew would be in the discussion if he didn't wash out with drug problems.

Im

sorry did you say Koncak? 

[Spud2nique]

If I had a fav 300 hawks Koncak wouldn’t make the list, 500.

The only two I even thought about from this list were Moses and Doc and I quickly dismissed both of them.  (Don't feel like I overlooked any of the others.)

Yeah, I thought about him.  

I didn't put Chris Crawford or Rumeal Robinson either, but I think about them too.

Toni Kukoc, Al Harrington,  and Jamal Crawford were beastly and almost deserving.

He was better than you think.

Honestly, I want to put John Drew in after seeing him mentioned. I couldn’t think of many good SF’s.

Definitely would use him over Smitty.

[NBASupes]

Just based on everyone I've directly watched. No 50s, 60s, or 70s, early 80s Hawks. 

PG: Trae Young/Mookie/Doc

 

SG:Joe Johnson/Smitty/Korver

 

SF:Nique/DMC/Hunter

 

PF:Millsap/Willis/Smoove

 

C:Horford/Mutombo/Rollins

Al is the best Atlanta Hawk I've ever seen, by far.

I don't think they are even in the discussion when you are talking about a 10 player roster.  I am cutting 2 of 3 of Steve Smith, John Drew, and Cliff Hagan from that roster.  Toni, Harrington, and Crawford don't get brought up against that level of competition for me.
