The 1994–95 Atlanta Hawks relied on Steve Smith as their leading scorer, while Mookie Blaylock controlled the backcourt with playmaking, perimeter shooting, and disruptive defense. Christian Laettner provided versatile frontcourt scoring and rebounding, and Dikembe Mutombo anchored the paint with elite rebounding and shot-blocking. The Hawks built their identity around disciplined defense and interior protection, complementing a balanced offense with steady ball movement and multiple scoring options.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Regular Season Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) Impact Index Notes Awards
Kevin Willis Early-Season Interior Scoring Anchor (1.05) 44.5 High 21.0 18.0 1.5 2.0 103.32 Willis was used as Atlanta’s primary interior scorer and rebounder before the early-season trade, and his workload was enormous in the two-game sample. His 20.5 field-goal attempts and 7.5 free-throw attempts per game show how heavily the offense leaned on him inside; the Hawks then moved him to Miami for Steve Smith and Grant Long. (Los Angeles Times) —
Mookie Blaylock Franchise Floor General (1.1) 38.4 High 17.2 4.9 7.7 2.8 86.06 Blaylock functioned as Atlanta’s organizing force, combining point-of-attack pressure with enough perimeter shooting to keep defenses honest. His six-three-pointer game against Dallas illustrated the expanded offensive responsibility, while contemporary coverage also highlighted how much Wilkens was helping him develop his shot. (Los Angeles Times) All-Defensive First Team (1995)
Steve Smith Primary Wing Scorer (1.05) 33.4 High 16.2 3.5 3.4 1.2 61.24 Smith became an important scoring outlet after arriving from Miami, with Atlanta increasingly relying on his shooting and half-court creation. He erupted for a then career-high 35 against New Jersey after hitting five of nine threes, and later produced 30 against Denver while setting the tone early in that game. (Los Angeles Times) —
Stacey Augmon Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) 31.1 Medium 13.9 4.8 2.6 1.9 53.59 Augmon remained one of Atlanta’s most versatile perimeter pieces, valued for defensive flexibility and activity rather than simply shot creation. The Washington Post had already identified him as one of the league’s versatile players, and his ability to swing games offensively was evident when he scored a season-high 24 against Indiana. (The Washington Post) —
Grant Long Physical Interior Workhorse (1.05) 32.6 Medium 11.7 7.5 1.6 1.8 52.21 Long supplied the physical frontcourt work Atlanta needed after the Willis trade, particularly on the glass and around the paint. He repeatedly surfaced in game coverage as a dependable secondary scorer and rebounder, including a 21-point outing against Golden State and a 15-point, 11-rebound performance during the late-season playoff push. (Los Angeles Times) —
Ken Norman Scoring Forward Connector (1.05) 25.4 Medium 12.7 4.9 1.3 0.8 45.51 Norman gave Atlanta another scoring forward who could punish defenses without needing every possession. His role expanded when the roster needed more frontcourt production, highlighted by a 34-point performance at Boston in which he scored 13 fourth-quarter points during a late Hawks comeback.

Andrew Lang Starting Interior Presence (1.05) 28.5 Medium 9.7 5.6 0.9 2.3 42.74 Lang served as a steady interior complement, providing rebounding, screening and rim protection without demanding many offensive touches. His season included several useful scoring bursts, including 18 points and 11 rebounds at Boston, while his 1.8 blocks per game gave Atlanta another layer of interior resistance. (Deseret News) —
Craig Ehlo Veteran Perimeter Stabilizer (1.0) 23.8 Low 9.7 3.0 2.3 1.0 32.00 Ehlo’s value came from experience, shooting and connective play rather than volume. He also remained capable of timely defensive plays: a contemporary report noted his torn knee cartilage cost him four to six weeks, underscoring why his eventual return was useful for a veteran-heavy rotation. (Spokesman-Review) —
Tyrone Corbin Defensive Utility Forward (1.0) 17.1 Low 6.2 3.2 0.8 0.9 22.20 Corbin was used as a low-usage defensive-minded forward who could absorb minutes across the wing and forward spots. Atlanta acquired him from Utah specifically as part of its reshaping of the roster, and his ability to play without dominating possessions fit a team built around Blaylock and its perimeter scorers. (Wikipedia) —
Jon Koncak Backup Rim Protector (1.0) 15.2 Low 2.9 3.0 0.8 1.3 16.00 Koncak’s role was primarily functional: occupy the interior, screen, rebound and provide size in reserve minutes. His offensive workload was extremely limited, while his standing as Atlanta’s player representative also gave him responsibilities away from the court during the season. (Los Angeles Times) —
Greg Anderson Rebounding Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) 12.2 Low 2.9 3.7 0.3 1.1 16.00 Anderson operated as a depth big whose main contribution was physical work around the basket. His offensive role remained narrow, but he could step into larger minutes when Atlanta needed additional size, including a late-season game in which he scored 17 points alongside Blaylock and Smith. (Los Angeles Times) —
Sergei Bazarevich International Reserve Guard (1.0) 7.4 Low 3.0 0.7 1.4 0.2 10.60 Bazarevich was a situational reserve whose opportunity was limited to 10 games. His presence was notable more for the international dimension he brought to the roster than for a sustained NBA rotation role; he had already represented Russia prominently in international competition before joining Atlanta. (Los Angeles Times) —
Jim Les Backup Ball-Handling Specialist (1.0) 7.8 Low 2.1 1.1 1.8 0.2 10.40 Les provided emergency point-guard minutes and ball security behind Blaylock, with his passing responsibilities outweighing his scoring role. The limited playing time and modest shot volume make him a clear depth piece rather than a regular offensive contributor. —
Ennis Whatley Veteran Backup Point Guard (1.0) 10.8 Low 2.6 1.1 2.0 0.7 12.80 Whatley returned to Atlanta late in the season and was primarily asked to steady reserve possessions rather than create offense at volume. His arrival came through short-term contracts in March, so the role was naturally more about depth and experience than integration into the main rotation. (Spokesman-Review) —
Doug Edwards Frontcourt Development Reserve (1.0) 5.6 Low 1.8 1.3 0.3 0.2 7.20 Edwards was still a developmental frontcourt piece whose opportunities were restricted behind Atlanta’s established forwards and centers. His season was also shaped by injury history dating back to his rookie campaign, when surgery on his calf delayed his availability. (Los Angeles Times) —
Morlon Wiley Emergency Ball-Handler (1.0) 3.4 Low 1.4 0.8 1.2 0.4 7.60 Wiley was essentially an emergency backcourt option, appearing in only five games after arriving late in the season. His 17 total minutes indicate how narrowly defined the role was: preserve guard depth rather than become part of the regular rotation. —
Fred Vinson Perimeter Shooting Reserve (1.0) 5.4 Low 0.8 0.0 0.2 0.0 2.00 Vinson’s NBA opportunity was extremely brief, with only five appearances. He entered the league with a reputation as a long-range shooter, but Atlanta gave him too little floor time for that skill to become a meaningful part of the regular-season rotation. —
Tom Hovasse End-of-Roster Forward (1.0) 2.0 Low 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.5 1.00 Hovasse was a fringe roster forward whose NBA role never developed beyond two brief appearances. Atlanta waived him in November, making his four total minutes a reflection of roster depth rather than a sustained tactical assignment. (Los Angeles Times) —
Team Totals — 242.1 — 96.6 41.2 21.4 14.0 — Atlanta’s regular-season profile was built around a defense-first structure, with Blaylock directing the offense and a rotating collection of veteran forwards and centers filling the gaps created by the roster changes. —

Mookie Blaylock Franchise Floor General (1.1) 40.3 High 18.0 4.3 5.7 1.3 77.35 Atlanta’s primary ball-handler and perimeter initiator was forced into heavy creation against Indiana, while also dealing with Reggie Miller at the other end. Blaylock averaged 40.3 minutes and took 16.3 shots per game in the sweep; the larger issue was that Indiana made Atlanta’s half-court offense increasingly difficult to organize.

Grant Long Interior Rebounding Workhorse (1.05) 36.7 Medium 13.7 11.3 1.3 1.6 67.52 Long was Atlanta’s most dependable interior worker in the series, battling Indiana’s bigger front line and repeatedly extending possessions with offensive rebounds. He grabbed 11 rebounds in Game 1 and 13 in Game 2, while his physical presence allowed Atlanta to stay competitive despite Indiana controlling the series. SFGATE Associated Press archive —
Steve Smith Primary Wing Scorer (1.05) 36.0 High 19.0 2.7 2.0 2.3 65.52 Smith became Atlanta’s main perimeter scoring outlet, particularly when Indiana crowded Blaylock’s creation lanes. He averaged 19 points in the three-game series and shot 38.9 percent from three, but Indiana’s physical coverage kept his jumper from becoming a consistent release valve as the sweep progressed.

Grant Long Interior Rebounding Workhorse (1.05) 36.7 Medium 13.7 11.3 1.3 1.6 67.52 Long was Atlanta’s most dependable interior worker in the series, battling Indiana’s bigger front line and repeatedly extending possessions with offensive rebounds. He grabbed 11 rebounds in Game 1 and 13 in Game 2, while his physical presence allowed Atlanta to stay competitive despite Indiana controlling the series. SFGATE Associated Press archive —
Andrew Lang Starting Interior Presence (1.05) 33.7 Medium 10.3 4.0 0.3 1.4 36.96 Lang was asked to absorb major center minutes and provide a physical interior target without requiring many designed touches. His regular-season stretch before the playoffs included an 18-point, 11-rebound performance against Boston, illustrating the kind of interior production Atlanta hoped to carry into the postseason. Daily Iowan archive —
Tyrone Corbin Defensive Utility Forward (1.05) 26.3 Medium 11.3 3.3 0.7 1.0 37.65 Corbin supplied Atlanta with a physical wing option who could defend, rebound and attack gaps without monopolizing possessions. He scored 13 points in Game 1 and 11.3 per game for the series, but his offensive role remained secondary to the Blaylock-Smith backcourt. Washington Post archive —
Stacey Augmon Defensive Wing Specialist (1.0) 17.3 Low 7.0 2.3 1.7 1.0 25.20 Augmon’s value was primarily defensive and athletic rather than shot creation, and Indiana’s series pushed him into a reduced offensive role. His versatility remained important in Atlanta’s lineup, but he started only one game and averaged 17.3 minutes as the Hawks struggled to generate enough offense from their secondary wings. Daily Iowan archive on Augmon —
Ken Norman Reserve Scoring Forward (1.0) 14.0 Low 5.3 3.0 1.0 0.3 19.20 Norman entered as a scoring-oriented reserve, giving Atlanta another forward capable of attacking when the starters needed relief. Earlier in the season he showed that ceiling with 34 points against Boston, including 13 in the fourth quarter, but Indiana limited him to 14 minutes per game in the sweep. Deseret News archive —
Greg Anderson Interior Defense Reserve (1.0) 13.0 Low 1.7 4.3 0.7 1.4 16.20 Anderson was used almost entirely for interior size, rebounding and defensive possessions rather than offensive creation. He played 13 minutes per game in the series and attempted only five shots across three games, a clear indication that Atlanta viewed him as a situational frontcourt defender. Sports Illustrated archive —
Craig Ehlo Veteran Perimeter Stabilizer (1.0) 16.3 Low 3.0 2.3 1.0 0.7 14.00 Ehlo was the veteran backcourt stabilizer, but his role was compromised by limited availability and reduced athleticism. He had missed four to six weeks earlier in the season with torn cartilage in his left knee, and by the playoffs he was functioning as a reserve rather than the high-minute wing he had once been. The Spokesman-Review archive —
Ennis Whatley Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) 6.3 Low 0.0 1.3 0.3 0.0 3.20 Whatley was essentially an emergency point-guard option during the sweep, appearing in only brief stretches behind Blaylock. His late-season return came through a short-term contract, so Atlanta’s playoff usage reflected depth insurance rather than a meaningful offensive role. Pampa News archive —
Team Totals — 240.0 — 89.3 39.0 14.7 11.0 — Atlanta was swept 3-0 by Indiana, with the series ultimately exposing how dependent the Hawks were on Blaylock’s organization and Smith’s perimeter scoring. The Pacers won every game by double digits, while Atlanta’s supporting cast struggled to consistently turn its defensive effort and interior rebounding into efficient half-court offense.
