Dave Bing

Dave Bing’s career with the Detroit Pistons was incredible, and if it wasn’t for a pair of Finals MVP winning point guards, he’d be the best point guard in the franchise’s history.

Bing was drafted to the Pistons with the 2nd overall pick of the 1966 NBA Draft and immediately had a tremendous impact.

He averaged 20 points, 4.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds in his rookie season.

His second season was insane.

Bing averaged 27.1 points, 6.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and won the league scoring title.

He played with the Pistons from 1966 until 1975, and during this time he averaged an incredible 22.6 points, 6.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals.

For a 6’3″ point guard, Bing could do it all.

During his nine seasons with the Pistons he made the All-Star team six times and made the All-NBA First Team twice.

Bing seemed ahead of his time with the way he could fill up an entire stat sheet as a point guard and is deservedly not only one of the best point guards to play for the Pistons, but one of the best players period.
