Every NBA Franchise’s All-Time Starting 5
24. Atlanta Hawks: Mookie Blaylock-Lou Hudson-Dominique Wilkins-Bob Pettit-Kevin Willis
6th Man: Joe Johnson
A tenacious defensive team, the All-Time Hawks squad would be a tough matchup for any team in our hypothetical league. Blaylock, Hudson, Pettit and Willis are all plus defenders, and the offense would be run almost exclusively through Wilkins isolations. Outside shooting would be an issue for the starting lineup, but is aided by the smooth stroke of Joe Johnson coming off the bench. If the Hawks could somehow steal Mutumbo from the Nuggets, they would surely be the best defensive team in the league.
