Aguirre was a role player when he played for the Pistons.
Edwards started at the 4 when he played for the Pistons.
Rodman was a 3 when he played for the Pistons.
Mahorn and Salley were role players

Did you leave Stuckey off due to spite? He was better than Chucky Atkins IMO. Greg Monroe makes it at two spots?

Is it strictly as a Piston? T-Mac and Chris Webber were pretty good, but not really as Pistons.

I thought Stuckey was a terrible point guard. He might have been a better player. But point guard? Nah.

Monroe made it in 2 places because he's started a full season at 2 different positions.

And Mac and Webber weren't that good with the Pistons. They were decent at best.

Aguirre was rarely in crunch time. In his second season with us, he came off the bench. Rodman took his spot. The best 5 we had that year was Isiah, Joe, Rodman, Edwards, and Laimbeer. They all made my list.

Which is wild because you'd think people on a Piston board would wanna talk about their all time players. I guess talking about guys who'll never wear Piston uniforms is more interesting.

Oh well.

Aren't internet message boards made for arguing which guy who'll never play for your team fits best?
