Running the point for the Pistons pickup team will be Isiah Thomas. Isiah won two championships with the Bad Boys and the Finals MVP in 1989-90, and averaged 19.2 points, 9.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game over the course of his career.

“Zeke” is the Pistons all-time leader in points, assists, steals and games played despite having his career cut short by injury at the age of 32.

Peak era Thomas, particularly between 1982-83 and 1989-90, is the hands down choice to play point guard for this team. The flash and consistency and heart he brought to the game would have suited an all-time pickup team possibly better than any other player the Pistons have rolled out over the years

Honorable mention goes to Chauncey Billups, an NBA champion with the Pistons and the MVP of the Finals in 2003-04.

Mr. Big Shot averaged 16.5 points and 6.2 assists per game in his eight years with the Pistons.
