The Atlanta Hawks 1959–60 were built around Bob Pettit, whose elite scoring and rebounding made him the team’s clear focal point. Cliff Hagan complemented him with reliable offensive production, while Slater Martin controlled the offense as the primary playmaker. Strong frontcourt play and rebounding were defining strengths, with multiple contributors supporting an efficient inside-oriented attack rather than relying solely on perimeter scoring.
Here is the Atlanta Hawks 1959–60 roster and regular season player statistics, formatted in tables. The team was still known as the St. Louis Hawks during this season.
