The Hawks franchise has long been known for its’ high-scoring guards leading the team to victory. From “Pistol” Pete Maravich to Jeff Teague, the Hawks have rarely been led by a defensive-minded lead guard. This was changed when the Hawks traded Rumeal Robinson for Roy Hinson and a promising point guard named Mookie Blaylock.
