I agree. I would take Ben over Nazr. Although I don't know about Mike James and Bonzi Wells, although they are the most talented IMO, they aren't true point guards.

C - Ben / Moore / Nazr
PF - Okur / Darko / Webber
SF - Hill / Wells
SG - Stackhouse / Delfino
PG - James / Atkins

I like this team...

That's a pretty good rating.

BTW, great topic.

Should start this topic on the general board, would get some good legs methinks with guys debating who are the best former players on their teams.

I don't think this team would even make the playoffs in the East. It just goes to show that Joe does a good job of keeping the right guys. They would be fighting it out with the likes of the 76ers, Hawks, Nets, Bucks, etc. for one of the final playoff spots. They don't have a bright future, either (unless we make an offseason trade)

If you're going to put Elden Campbell on that list, why not Corliss Williamson? He can still play, and I'd definitely take him as a reserve.

Done. I added two twists so it would remain on the Gen board and not get switched to Player Comparisons, or anything foolish like that.

Where can I find my post with your twist on the General Board? Thanks!

Am I leaving out any former Pistons that are still active?

Wallace and Okur up front, Hill at SF, Stackhouse and Delfino in the backcourt.

James would have to be the 6th man so their would be a PG.
Nazr, Wells, Milicic, Moore, and Arroyo would also be on this team.

This team would be lucky to win 30 games a season mostly because of horrible inconsistency.
