Excluding the players who missed the season due to injury, Jon Koncak has to be up there.
The complete player salary records prior to the 1990-91 season aren’t available online (not even on Basketball Reference), but there’s a media outlet who made a top 10 list of the highest paid players for the 1989-90 season and Pervis Ellison, who ranks at 10th, was earning $2.400.000. Koncak’s salary for the season in question was $2.200.000, so he wasn’t far off from being a top 10 highest paid player that season.
He averaged 4/4 that season on 54 games played for a Hawks team that missed the playoffs.
