Reserve Wingmen: Stacey Augmon, John Battle, and Craig Ehlo

Augmon’s 1991-1996 Stats: 13.7 PPG 4.5 RPG 2.3 APG 1.5 SPG .488 FG%

Battle’s 1990-1991 Stats: 12.5 PPG 1.9 RPG 2.7 APG 0.5 SPG .478 FG%

Eloh’s 1993-1996 Stats: 9.4 PPG 3.2 RPG 2.5 APG 1.3 SPG .442 FG%

This trio of wings all brought their varying skills to Atlanta and succeeded. Augmon was drafted with the fifth pick of the 1991 NBA Draft, and was one of the earliest iterations of the “Next Jordan” archetype. While he never lived up to that lofty hype, mostly on the offensive end, he was still the quintessential elite athlete and wing defender the Hawks needed.

Battle was one of the team’s greatest sixth men ever. Fans who recall his playing days revere his scoring power, and it was much needed in most games. His best statistical season came in 1990-91, when he averaged 13.6 points and 2.7 assists per game for a 43-win team.

Ehlo is best known for his time with the Cavaliers, but in his 210 games as a Hawk, his 36% shooting from behind the three-point line was essential to success.
