The Atlanta Hawks 1958–59 were led by Bob Pettit, whose scoring and rebounding remained the foundation of the team’s success. Cliff Hagan supplied consistent secondary offense, while Slater Martin organized the attack as the primary playmaker. Reliable frontcourt production, strong rebounding, and balanced scoring from key contributors gave the Hawks a well-rounded style built around inside play and efficient offensive support rather than reliance on a single scorer.
Here is the Atlanta Hawks 1958–59 roster and regular season player statistics. The team was still known as the St. Louis Hawks during this season.
