Best modern 10-man Pistons rotation 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Tue Aug 5, 2025 9:30 pm

Pick ten players, you can use their best season wearing Pistons uniform (at least 50% of the season playing for the Pistons).
Assemble your best 10-man rotation best suited in your eyes to compete in modern-game environment.

My pick:
Chauncey Billups / Isiah Thomas
Joe Dumars / Cade Cunningham
Grant Hill / Tayshaun Prince
Rasheed Wallace / Dennis Rodman
Bob Lanier / Ben Wallace

Potential candidates:
Blake Griffin, Rip Hamilton, Vinnie Johnson, Tobias Harris, Dave Bing, Bill Laimbeer, Jerry Stackhouse, Mark Aguirre, Rick Mahorn, Dave DeBusscherre, Adrian Dantley, Allan Houston, Andre Drummond, Allen Iverson, Kelly Tripucka

Really can't argue against you here, I think your choices are excellent. George Yardley was a much better
piston than Iverson though, even (especially?) for modern day.

Chauncey Billups / Isiah Thomas
Joe Dumars / Allan Houston
Grant Hill / Tayshaun Prince
Rasheed Wallace / Bailey Howell
Bob Lanier / Ben Wallace

Good lineup versatility with Isiah/Billups can play together, Hill can play some PF, Sheed can play some C.
