Interesting that a franchise with a long history and with a good deal of success such as the Pistons doesn’t have anyone that comes close to a top 50 all time peak. But then again, the Pistons never had a dominant offense (one season, 2006, with a rORtg over +4, with 5 seasons with a +3 to +4 rORtg) though they did have more elite defenses with an ATG one in 2004.

In the last RealGM peaks project, we had these teams represented:

Lakers, 6
Knicks, 3
Celtics, 2
Heat, 2
Magic, 2
Rockets, 2
Sixers, 2
Sonics/Thunder, 2
Spurs, 2
Suns, 2
Warriors, 2

1 each: Bulls, Blazers, Bucks, Clippers/Braves, Colonels (ABA), Hawks, Hornets, Kings, Mavs, Nets, Raptors, Jazz, TWolves

Clippers could have two (CP3 2015 over 2008), Cavs of course with many different LeBron seasons, and the Bucks with a Kareem season over his 1977 Lakers’ season. Not sure if the Pistons really even had a top 65-70 season from a player yet won three titles.
