Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) Impact Index Notes Awards
Dominique Wilkins Primary Offensive Focal Point (1.1) 34.4 High 24.4 6.2 2.3 1.7 91.34 Wilkins was still Atlanta’s offensive focal point before the shocking February trade, attacking as a high-volume scorer who could carry possessions late in the clock. Contemporary reporting called him the Hawks’ prime offensive weapon and noted that Atlanta was 36-16 when the deal sent him to Los Angeles. Los Angeles Times — Wilkins trade coverage MVP Voting (11th), All-Star (1994), All-NBA Third Team (1994)
Kevin Willis Interior Scoring Anchor (1.1) 35.8 High 19.1 12.0 1.9 1.5 91.08 Willis was the bruising interior centerpiece, giving Atlanta a reliable scoring target while owning the defensive glass. A late-season Washington Post report showed the formula clearly: 31 points and 14 rebounds against Boston while Mookie controlled the backcourt, reinforcing how the Hawks could win through Willis’ interior production. Washington Post — Hawks at Celtics, March 1994 MVP Voting (11th)
Mookie Blaylock Franchise Floor General (1.1) 36.0 High 13.8 5.2 9.7 3.1 83.95 Blaylock was the defensive pressure point and offensive organizer of Lenny Wilkens’ new-look Hawks. Contemporary reporting described him as one of the East’s best point guards while emphasizing Atlanta’s aggressive ball pressure and up-tempo approach; his 9.7 assists reflected how much of the offense ran through him. Washington Post — Wilkens rejuvenates Hawks title hopes MVP Voting (11th), Defensive Player of the Year Voting (7th), All-Star (1994), All-Defensive First Team (1994)
Danny Manning Versatile Half-Court Creator (1.05) 35.6 High 15.7 6.5 3.3 2.8 71.32 Manning’s Atlanta role was deliberately different from his Clippers workload: rather than carrying every scoring possession, he was encouraged to move the ball and fit into a balanced offense. He later explained that he no longer felt Atlanta needed him to score simply to remain competitive, a revealing contrast with his previous situation in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Times — Manning’s changing Atlanta role All-Star (1994)
Stacey Augmon Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) 31.8 Medium 14.8 4.8 2.3 2.3 55.90 Augmon was Wilkens’ versatile perimeter defender, using his length and athleticism to pressure ball-handlers and disrupt actions away from the ball. The Washington Post described him as a terror on double-teams and part of a defensive transformation that turned Atlanta into one of the league’s tougher teams. Washington Post — Augmon scouting profile —
Craig Ehlo Veteran Sixth Man Organizer (1.0) 26.2 Medium 10.0 3.4 3.3 2.0 41.14 Ehlo was the veteran connector in Wilkens’ three-guard rotation, providing shooting, decision-making and defensive experience without needing a starting role. Local archival coverage described him as playing a major part in Atlanta’s successful formula, while Wilkens had specifically envisioned his arrival as a way to improve the team’s tempo and perimeter balance. Georgia Historic Newspapers — Hawks trade coverage featuring Ehlo Sixth Man of the Year Voting (3rd)
Jon Koncak Defensive Centerpiece (1.05) 22.2 Medium 4.2 4.5 1.2 2.3 25.62 Koncak’s job was mostly about interior positioning, screens and defensive resistance rather than offensive volume. His value was visible in the way Atlanta’s centers supported the new defensive identity, and he later publicly contrasted Manning’s quick ball movement with the late-clock possessions he had experienced alongside Wilkins. Los Angeles Times — Hawks offensive-role reporting —
Andrew Lang Backup Rim Protector (1.05) 19.6 Medium 6.1 3.8 0.6 1.6 25.41 Lang supplied functional size behind Koncak and could become a useful interior scorer when Atlanta needed a different look. His ability to contribute in spot opportunities showed up in contemporary game coverage, including a 14-point first half against Chicago later in his Atlanta tenure.

Duane Ferrell Transition Wing Reserve (1.0) 16.0 Low 7.1 1.8 0.9 0.8 21.20 Ferrell was an athletic reserve forward whose value came from attacking space and supplying scoring without requiring designed touches. Contemporary Atlanta-area coverage of the Hawks’ rotation noted his contribution alongside the team’s more prominent perimeter pieces, fitting a role built around energy rather than creation. Georgia Historic Newspapers — Atlanta Hawks coverage —
Adam Keefe Young Frontcourt Connector (1.0) 12.1 Low 4.3 3.2 0.5 0.4 16.80 Keefe was still a developing interior piece, used for physical minutes and frontcourt depth rather than as a featured scorer. His Atlanta tenure ended with a September trade to Utah, reflecting the roster reshaping that followed the Hawks’ 57-win season. RealGM — Keefe transaction history —
Ennis Whatley Backup Point Guard (1.0) 12.2 Low 3.6 1.2 2.2 0.7 15.40 Whatley served as veteran ball-handling insurance behind Blaylock, keeping the offense organized during short reserve stretches. The limited independent season coverage makes detailed tactical evaluation difficult, so the safest description is a low-usage veteran point-guard role rather than a scoring assignment. Washington Wizards — Whatley career profile —
Doug Edwards Developing Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) 6.7 Low 2.7 1.1 0.5 0.4 9.40 Edwards was a rookie frontcourt developmental piece whose opportunities were limited behind Atlanta’s established bigs. Georgia Tech’s contemporary student newspaper later reported how another young Atlanta reserve, Fred Vinson, was fighting for roster security as the team reshaped its depth, illustrating the crowded developmental environment around Edwards.

Paul Graham Perimeter Depth Shooter (1.0) 6.1 Low 2.8 0.6 0.6 0.4 8.80 Limited contemporary independent coverage was available on Graham’s brief role. He functioned as perimeter depth behind Augmon and Ehlo, with his minutes restricted enough that he never developed into a regular rotation scorer during Atlanta’s 57-win campaign. —
John Bagley Emergency Point Guard (1.0) 4.3 Low 0.7 0.3 1.0 0.0 4.00 Bagley’s role was strictly emergency backcourt depth during his brief Atlanta stint. Limited contemporary independent coverage was available beyond the short roster appearance, so there is little evidence to suggest a larger tactical responsibility. —
Ricky Grace Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) 2.7 Low 1.3 0.3 0.3 0.0 3.80 Grace received only a handful of minutes before leaving the roster, making him an end-of-bench developmental guard rather than part of Wilkens’ regular rotation. Limited contemporary independent reporting was available on his brief Atlanta appearance. —
Team Totals — 240.9 — 101.4 44.8 25.1 16.7 — Atlanta’s 1993-94 identity was built around Wilkens’ defensive overhaul, Blaylock’s orchestration and pressure defense, Willis’ interior production, and Wilkins’ scoring before the franchise-shaking trade. The Hawks finished 57-25, won the Central Division and entered the playoffs as the Eastern Conference’s top seed.

Danny Manning Primary Half-Court Creator (1.1) 38.7 High 20.0 7.0 3.4 2.2 86.06 Manning became Atlanta’s primary scoring option after the Dominique Wilkins trade, and that responsibility carried directly into the postseason. He scored a playoff-career-high 35 points in Game 4 against Indiana, while Larry Brown called the performance “phenomenal”; Manning also produced 20 points in the Hawks’ Game 5 win.

Mookie Blaylock Defensive Floor General (1.1) 37.7 High 13.0 5.0 8.9 2.7 78.14 Blaylock was the Hawks’ defensive pressure valve and offensive organizer, but Indiana initially knocked him out of rhythm. After shooting only 28 percent over four games, he answered in Game 5 with 14 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds, four steals and a block, directly driving Atlanta’s survival.

Kevin Willis Interior Scoring Anchor (1.05) 32.9 Medium 12.2 10.8 1.0 1.2 58.21 Willis was Atlanta’s interior stabilizer, but the Indiana series repeatedly tested him against Rik Smits and Indiana’s physical front line. He played through a knee injury and then a severe thumb sprain in Game 5, yet still logged 33 minutes; his interior work remained central to Atlanta’s best stretches.

Craig Ehlo Veteran Sixth-Man Catalyst (1.05) 28.8 Medium 11.4 2.7 3.6 1.0 43.20 Ehlo was Atlanta’s veteran spark off the bench and one of the few reserves who could change a playoff game quickly. His best postseason moment came in Game 5, when he scored 22 points and hit 5-of-6 shots; 12 of those points came in the third quarter while Indiana was trying to seize control.

Stacey Augmon Starting Defensive Wing (1.05) 29.5 Medium 10.8 2.6 2.5 0.8 38.58 Augmon supplied the athletic wing defense that allowed Atlanta to pressure the perimeter without overloading Blaylock. His offensive contribution was uneven, but he had 13 points in Game 3 and 13 more in Game 4, while Indiana’s ability to establish Rik Smits inside ultimately put more pressure on Atlanta’s front line.

Duane Ferrell Physical Energy Forward (1.0) 17.0 Medium 7.1 2.8 1.5 0.8 25.62 Ferrell was the athletic reserve forward who supplied pace and physicality rather than running offense. His role became especially visible against Miami, where his rebound basket helped trigger the infamous Game 2 confrontation with Grant Long; Ferrell then scored 10 of his 23 points after the melee and helped Atlanta pull away.

Jon Koncak Starting Interior Defender (1.05) 17.7 Medium 5.3 2.7 1.2 1.6 23.81 Koncak was used as a physical interior body whose main responsibilities were screens, positioning and protecting the paint. After Indiana’s Game 1 comeback, he specifically pointed to the Davis brothers’ inside play as what “broke our backs,” a useful snapshot of the matchup problem Atlanta’s centers faced.

Andrew Lang Reserve Rim-Protection Specialist (1.05) 21.3 Medium 6.8 4.3 0.5 2.3 30.65 Lang was Atlanta’s second interior defender, giving Wilkens a longer shot-blocking option behind Koncak. His value was most apparent as a defensive changeup; he played 29 minutes in the deciding Game 6 against Indiana and recorded two blocks despite struggling to score efficiently.

Ennis Whatley Veteran Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) 10.3 Low 2.2 1.3 1.1 0.6 10.40 Whatley provided experienced point-guard depth behind Blaylock, but his playoff role was strictly situational. The series required Atlanta to keep its primary creators on the floor for long stretches, leaving Whatley with only brief minutes while Wilkens prioritized Blaylock’s defensive pressure and playmaking.

Adam Keefe Frontcourt Hustle Reserve (1.0) 8.9 Low 2.3 1.9 0.3 0.2 9.40 Keefe was a young frontcourt reserve used for short, physical stretches rather than as a regular offensive option. His most meaningful playoff workload came in Game 6, when Indiana’s interior size forced Atlanta to search deeper into its frontcourt rotation; he responded with seven points in 23 minutes.

Paul Graham Emergency Perimeter Reserve (1.0) 2.0 Low 2.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.00 Graham was essentially an emergency wing option, appearing for only two minutes in the postseason. His brief Game 3 appearance against Indiana produced a made basket, but the rotation remained concentrated around Atlanta’s established perimeter group.

Doug Edwards Rookie Physical Reserve (1.0) 3.0 Low 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 2.00 Edwards had almost no tactical role during the postseason, appearing for only three minutes against Indiana. His playoff significance came earlier against Miami, where the rookie was ejected during the Game 2 bench-clearing altercation and subsequently suspended, ending what was otherwise a very limited playoff contribution.

Team Totals — 240.0 — 90.4 40.5 23.9 13.5 — Atlanta’s postseason run was built on defense, veteran depth and the late-season integration of Manning, but Indiana exposed the limits of that formula. The Hawks survived Miami in five games before beating Indiana once at home, then losing the final two games of the semifinal series as the Pacers’ interior attack and half-court defense took over.
