Ben Wallace lays claim to the best season in Detroit Pistons history. He put up 7.6 points, 13 rebounds, and an astounding 3.5 blocks a game.  That was enough to get him the team record for blocks in a season with 278, and that mark also led the NBA that year.

He hit 53.1 percent of his field goals and stole the ball 1.7 times a game. Exploding onto the scene as he did culminated with him winning his first of four Defensive Player of the Year awards, and marked the beginning of a new era for Detroit basketball.

Next: Will Reggie Jackson be a savvier player in year two as a starter?

With another chance at a core player, the Pistons made sure they would surround him with the perfect pieces.
