Today we’ll be looking at the five best shooting guards to have played for the Pistons.

With over 70 years of history and three NBA championships there is a plethora of different players to consider.

However, shooting guard hasn’t been a stand-out position for the Pistons over the years, so narrowing the list down to just five was quite easy.

Ranking them is a whole other ballgame, as those who did make the list all enjoyed strong careers in Detroit.
