League Search Page > NBA > Atlanta Hawks > Roster & Statistics

The Atlanta Hawks 1978–79 were led by Eddie Johnson, who emerged as the team’s primary scoring option, while Dan Roundfield provided a strong all-around presence with rebounding, interior scoring, and defensive contributions. Tree Rollins anchored the paint with his shot blocking and rebounding, and Tom Henderson handled the bulk of the playmaking duties. The statistics indicate a team built around a productive frontcourt, balanced offensive support, and a defence strengthened by its interior presence.
