3. Jason Terry

Points per game (as a Hawk): 16.2

3-point field goals (as a Hawk): 648

3-PT FG% (as a Hawk): 36.7%

Terry spent the first five seasons of his career with the Hawks, and he rarely disappointed. After a rookie season in which he only played 23.3 minutes per game, Terry went on a four-season run of 18.3 points per game, while shooting 37 percent from behind the three-point line.

Terry isn’t high on this list because of his extreme marksmanship, though. Terry’s primary role throughout his career has been volume scoring.

Terry attempted 1767 threes while in Atlanta, which places him third in Hawks’ history, only behind Joe Johnson and the #2 player on this list, both of which played two more seasons in Atlanta than Terry.

Terry’s scoring impact didn’t necessarily win the Hawks many games, but he certainly left an imprint in the record books.
