Young Dennis Rodman, before he went crazy (or before it became more overt.)

If we can only name one, it has to be Big Ben.

Joe!

Which made his last 4 years more painful than it should have been.

I became a basketball fan around 2002 or 2003, just before they won the championship, so obviously that team is extra special to me. Of that team I only have one jersey, Rasheed Wallace. He is still my favorite Piston ever and I wish our organization could find a spot for him. I credit him the most for developing Drummond's post game. It was under his tutelage that Dre progressed the most in that area, imo.

Ben Wallace with Grant Hill in 2nd place (I was so sad when Grant Hill was traded and we acquired Ben Wallace in that trade lmao)

I'm old enough to have been following the Pistons since 1983. Isiah is the greatest Piston IMO and that made him fun to watch pretty much all the time. I certainly have great appreciation for a number of other Pistons but if I have to pick one it's Isiah.

Toss up, but I'm gonna say Sheed. Can't go wrong with either Wallace though.

Sheeds whole character and energy he brought was just once a lifetime. There's others with the attitudes but none like him. I just really enjoyed watching and having him here. I know he wasn't the best player we've had or anything but he was definitely my favorite.

I'll go with an out-of-the-box answer and say Chuck Daly.

I go back and fourth between Ben and Chauncey.

I'm just not old enough to have seen the bad boys, so they are all out. Grant Hill might have been able to get there if he'd stuck around longer or during better times, since he was the first great Piston I ever saw.
