This roster has talent that can be similar to the Pistons 03-04


Think about the rookies we drafted and give this a thought here.. Damian Lillard, a 6'3" point guard with great range, a great solution for the pick and roll. Not a natural playmaker, but he can be a good floor general at setting the pace. He reminds me of Chauncey Billups in his prime in a lot of ways and that might just be his ceiling for now.

Meyers Leonard has mentioned he seems himself as playing a "Tysor Chandler" role, and the resemblances is there.. 7'1", athletic, potent on offense and could be key for defense. If thats his ceiling I dont think there are a lot who will complain. That seems to be the type of role Ben Wallace filled.

Will Barton.. a thin SG who can be explosive on offense, and rebounds great for a guard. If he develops a shot from the arc, I see similarities to Richard Hamilton.

Of our current players, LaMarcus Aldridge is the closest to Rasheed Wallace..no explanation necessary.

And finally, Nic Batum is very similar to Tayshaun Prince in their size and talents for now. The problem is we might lose Batum, but I think Prince's role was the least important in that lineup. Any SF that can play D and hit their open shots would suffice here.

Do you see the resemblance ? No ?
