The Detroit Pistons had one of the best players of the late 90’s in forward Grant Hill, who was the prototype for the modern two-way point forward.
The Pistons had a couple of good teams with Hill but were never able to put the right supporting cast around him. The 1996-97 group was one of my favorite teams and they did win 54 games, but ultimately got beaten in the first round of the playoffs.
Hill did have some good players around him, guys like Joe Dumars, Lindsey Hunter and Jerry Stackhouse, but they could never get the right complementary players at the right time to take advantage of Hill’s immense talent.
