Starting Point Guard: Mookie Blaylock

1992-1999 Stats: 14.9 PPG 7.3 APG 4.6 RPG 2.6 SPG .413 FG%

Of all the positions, Blaylock’s position as the lead guard for the 1990’s Hawks was one of the easiest.

Not only did he start for the Hawks at his position for eight seasons, he was one of the best, most consistent players at his position over most of the 1990s.

He played alongside nearly every other player that will be on this list, which makes him almost a barometer of long-lasting success throughout the 1990’s for the Hawks.

Blaylock’s memorable defense, which included nabbing at least 2.5 steals per game in six of his seven seasons in Atlanta, was what made him great. Other than that, he averaged over 7 assists per game and is still first in franchise history in three-pointers made. His one All-Star appearance, in 1994, could not come close to completely explaining Blaylock’s impact on the 1990’s Atlanta Hawks.
