NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
Western Division
Finished: 26-46 .361, 4th place
The continuously losing Hawks totally revamped their roster, only bringing back six players. The most exciting addition was future Hall of Fame player Bob Pettit. Pettit would average over 20 points a game for the Hawks and be named Rookie of the Year, but unfortunately the Hawks finished in last place yet again.
