The best Detroit Pistons to wear each uniform number

The best Detroit Pistons to wear each uniform number

Ok, we are finally hitting some Pistons uniform numbers worn by some of the greatest players in franchise history.

#45: Adrian Dantley

Young fans never got to see this guy play, but he was an absolute bucket. A force on the post and the mid-range, Dantley was one of the best scorers of his generation. Unfortunately for him, he got traded right before the Pistons started winning titles, but he was a two-time scoring champion and a guy who averaged over 24 ppg for his career. Six other players wore this number, including the ill-fated Sekou Doumbouya.

#44: Rick Mahorn

Twelve different Detroit Pistons have worn this number, including Bojan Bogdanovic, who has it now, but Mahorn gets the nod as the enforcer of the Bad Boys era.

#43: Terry Dischinger

Played six seasons with Detroit in the 60’s that were interrupted by military service, but made an All-Star team in one of them in which he averaged over 18 per game. Shout out to fan favorite Anthony Tolliver.

#42: Jerry Stackhouse

Thirteen players wore #42, but Stack was the best of them and still holds the Pistons’ single-game scoring record.

#41: Saddiq Bey

Nine very medicore players wore this number for the Pistons, so take your choice from Bey, Mark West, Elden Campbell and Terry Tyler.

#40: Bill Laimbeer

Strangely the only Detroit player to wear #40, as one of the greatest Pistons’ centers of all time, Laimbeer probably would have made the list anyway.
