The best Detroit Pistons to wear each uniform number

The best Detroit Pistons to wear each uniform number

These are starting to get a little easier.

#19: Reggie Harding

A wild and tragic story here.

#18: Bailey Howell

Four-time All-Star for Detroit during the 50’s nad 60’s.

#17: Bob Houbregs

Somehow 14 players have worn this doo doo number and they were all bad to mediocre, though Houbregs did make an All-Star team for the Lakers.

#16: Bob Lanier

It hangs in the Pistons’ rafters.

#15: Vinnie “Microwave” Johnson

One of the great bench scorers and clutch performers of all time.

#14: Andy Phillip

Shout out to Ish Smith. This one has been worn recently by players like Stanley Umude, RJ Hampton, Cassius Stanley and Louis King who were not long for Detroit.

#13: Mehmet Okur

James Wiseman hopes to own this spot one day but right now that honor goes to the Turkish Hammer.

#12: George Yardley

Twenty-five players have worn this number but Yardley was a five-time All-Star who straddled the Fort Wayne to Detroit transition.

#11: Isiah Thomas

The greatest Piston of all time and probably the greatest NBA player to ever wear #11, though that is certainly debatable.

#10: Dennis Rodman

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed watching someone play basketball more than The Worm.
