Greatest Hawk of All Time?

I want to do a greatest of all time ranking for each team. For some teams it's pretty easy to determine who their GOAT is but it's harder for others.

For the Hawks I've narrowed it down to either Nique or Pettit. I don't know enough about either so maybe I can use your help.

I put Pettit for the simple fact that Dominique played basketball and should tell someone to use common sense
is Josh more like Bob Pettit (pf) or Dominique (sf)?
Pettitt= hard work & competitive (albeit in a 8 team league)= ring

Pettit is the lone figurehead of Hawks postseason success

I cant say Nique until his involvement with the franchise leads to actually winning something.

The reason I picked Nique is because of the time era he played in, Nique played in the era of Bird, Magic, and even Jordan at the end of his career. Sure Pettit played in the Dominant Celtics led by Russel era but that was it, but I'm sure Nique would've won championships if he played in the late 50s.
