The best Detroit Pistons to wear each uniform number

We’re now getting into some of the most popular numbers in team history.

#39: Željko Rebrača

This number isn’t one of them, as Željko Rebrača is the only one who ever wore it for the Detroit Pistons.

#38: Saben Lee

Only three Pistons ever wore this number and they were all terrible, so I am giving it to Lee, as I always liked him. No shout out to Kwame Brown.

#37: Jack Smiley

You have to go back to the 40’s to find a player who wore this uniform number. Smiley is the only one. I guess players don’t like prime numbers.

#36: Rasheed Wallace

One of my personal favorite players of all time, he was one of three players to wear this number for Detroit.

#35: Phil Hubbard

Twenty players wore this number for the Pistons, which ties it for the fourth-most. Unfortunately, they were all bad. That includes current Piston Marvin Bagley III and former Piston, Christian Wood, so I am just going to give it to some guy who played in the 1980’s.

#34: Corliss Williamson

Fourteen players wore this number, and you could certainly go with Tobias Harris here, but I like Big Nasty, who was one of the most underrated Pistons of all time.

#33: Grant Hill

‘Nuff said.

#32: Richard Hamilton

Ditto.

#31:

Better argument would be who was the worst player to wear this number. My vote goes to Darko Milicic, but Charlie Villanueva certainly has an argument. All 13 players who wore this number were bad.

#30: Rasheed Wallace

His first number with the Detroit Pistons, though you could also argue for Clifford Robinson here.
