During his career, he was able to amass a decent 16.1 points per game average, as well as a nice 4.5 assists per game. He also held a mediocre 2.2 rebounds per game, as he was more of the middle-man for the team and the glue that held them together.

Grant HIll, SF/SG (93)

Age: 24

Height: 6’8”

Traits: All-Around Superstar

Best Stats: Layups, Vertical, Speed

Although Grant Hill ended up on the CLippers before retiring, he originally started out with the Pistons, which was seen as his miracle years. During his six seasons with the Pistons, Hill was able to amass 21.6 points on average, as well as a solid 4.1 assists, making him a feared pointman. His most notable asset, though, was his ability to steal the ball, which netted him a solid 1.6 steals per game.

Bob Lanier, C (93)

Age: 25

Height: 6’11”

Traits: Two-Way Star

Best Stats: Rebounding, Post Offense, Strength

WIth a long career behind him, Bob Lanier was definitely worthy of all of his titles and his Hall of Fame spot. During his 10 seasons with the Pistons, he was able to collect a nice 22.7 point average per game, as well as a good 3.3 assists per game. His main power, though, came from his defensive game. He was able to gain an amazing 11.8 rebounds per game, as well as a monstrous 2.0 blocks per game and 1.2 steals per game, which is extremely difficult to do as a center of all things.

Chauncey Billups, PG/SG (91)

Age: 28

Height: 6’3”

Traits: All-Around Superstar

Best Stats: Lateral Quickness, Ball Handling, Mid-Range

Chauncey Billups is pretty much a legend in his own right, but that doesn’t mean the owners or organizations saw that. Billups bounced around from team to team often, so his years with the Detroit Pistons were spread out over many years, and not exactly all in order. But, over the 482 games he did play for them in 8 seasons, he was able to get a decent 16.5 points per game for them, as well as a nice 6.2 assist average per game as well. He also had a solid 1.0 steals per game and 3.2 rebounds per game to top it all off.
