Creating the perfect Detroit Pistons player

Feet: Adrian Dantley

For someone listed at 6’5″ and under 210 pounds to become an All-NBA forward and eventual Hall of Famer lauded for his scoring in the post, they would have to have great footwork and a quick first step.

That was Adrian Dantley’s game.

During his prime years with the Utah Jazz, Dantley averaged at least 30 points per game for four seasons in a row, two of which he led the league in scoring.

By the time he arrived in Detroit in 1986, AD was getting older and had made the last of his six All-Star Game appearances. But he was still a solid 20-point scorer who was vital in two deep playoff runs for the Pistons in 1987 and 1988.
