Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Atlanta Hawks.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Hawks made it to the play-in but did not make the official post-season.  Nevertheless, there were two new entrants and multiple elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Bob Pettit
2. Dominique Wilkins
3. Cliff Hagan
4. John Drew
5. Mookie Blaylock

You can find the entire list here.

Guard Trae Young, named to his third All-Star Game last year, rose to #12 from #15.

Center Clint Capela moved up four spots to #26.

The two new entrants, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Onyeka Okungwe, debuted at #45 and #46, respectively.

Walt Hazzard and Antoine Carr fell off the list.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

From Serbia, Bogdan Bogdanovic was a late First Round Pick in 2014 by the Sacramento Kings, though it would be three years before he played there.  After his first three seasons in Sacramento, he was traded to Atlanta, where, as of this writing, the Guard has played in a productive capacity for four years.

Bogdanovic has been equally solid as a starter and bench performer for the Hawks, averaging approximately 15 Points per Game over his ATL tenure.  Twice receiving votes for the Sixth Man of the Year Award, Bogdanovic can score in bunches, and his shooting style can befuddle the most seasoned NBA veteran.

He enters the 2024-25 season with a shot to make the Top 40 of our All-Time Atlanta Hawks.
