Starting 5

PG- Isiah Thomas

SG- Joe Dumars

SF- Grant Hill

6- Bill Laimbeer
7- Tayshaun Prince
8- Chauncey Billups
9- Rasheed Wallace
10- Dave Bing
11- Dave DeBusschere
12- Bob Lanier

Wouldn't wanna play against these guys that's for sure. Rodman, Wallace's, Laimbeer, and DeBusschere would beat the shit out of you. What would your Pistons team look like?

I tried to make this list, but I just hate these guys too much. I can't get it done.

I feel like Rip Hamilton deserves to be somewhere on this team but I'm not sure where to place him.

Gosh, this would be difficult to do as a fan.

Sure you've got the regular guys where you know they're starting (Zeke, JoeD, Hill, etc..), but than it gets dicey at the 4 and 5 spots. Do you start Rodman or do you go with 'Sheed? Than at the 5 do you go Big Ben or Laimbeer? I could go back and forth feel good about who I have there and maybe change it again 5 minutes later, so it's just hard to do.

But here goes my best shot.....

Starting Five
G - Isiah Thomas
G - Joe Dumars
F - Grant Hill
F - Dennis Rodman
C - Ben Wallace

Bench
6. Chauncey Billups
7. Bill Laimbeer
8. Dave Bing
9. Rasheed Wallace
10. Bob Lanier
11. Richard Hamilton
12. Tayshaun Prince

I really didn't like leaving off some guys here, but this is what I came up with. Like another poster mentioned, easily could have went 15-deep on this one.
