Shout out to Arron Afflalo, but I’m going with Beef Stew.
#27: Zaza Pachulia
Rough, rough number here that also includes Buddy Boeheim. Let’s move on.

#26:
Only five players ever wore this number and they were all terrible.
#25: John Long
Seventeen players have worn this number including guys like Derrick Rose, Reggie Bullock, Kyle Singler (ugh) and Amir Johnson. Long was easily the best, as he had a productive 8-year career with the Detroit Pistons and put up some big numbers. Marcus Sasser hopes to eventually take over this spot.
#24: Jimmy Walker
Twenty-three players have worn this number for the Detroit Pistons, but Walker made two All-Star teams in the 1960’s and 70’s while doing it.
#23: Blake Griffin
He didn’t do it for long, but Griffin had one outstanding season for the Pistons. This spot will eventually be held by Jaden Ivey.
#22: Dave DeBusschere
Some good ones wore this number, including Tayshaun Prince, John Salley and Ricky Pierce.
#21: Dave Bing
One of Detroit’s all-time greats regardless of number.
#20: Allan Houston
Twenty-five players wore this, tied for the most in team history, and it’s mostly a list of mid players like Kevin Knox, Josh Jackson, Jodie Meeks and Carlos Delfinio.
