The Goods Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Fans in Detroit are excited about the return of Ben Wallace, but he'll play behind a number of big men this season. The Pistons have at least four options ahead of Wallace at power forward and center: Charlie Villanueva, Chris Wilcox, Kwame Brown and Jason Maxiell. Wallace is expected to sign a one-year deal worth $1.3 million next week. The former Defensive Player of the Year has seen his rebounding numbers decline every year since 2003. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/61040/20090808/many_ahead_of_wallace_in_detroits_rotation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 7, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Honestly, Big Ben should've just retired. I feel bad for him. On the other hand, Detroit isn't looking so bad up front. I know people hate on Kwame quite a bit, but he's a pretty good man-to-man defensive player. Villanueva can score the ball. Maxiell still has hopes of duplicating Big Ben's career. I just hope he gets some time in. Maybe he should bring back the fro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGuy Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Perhaps this homecoming will rejuvenate him this season, it would be nice to see Big Ben play with some spirit like he used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 This shouldn't really surprise anybody. As far as I am concerned Ben Wallace went back to Detroit because he wanted to finish his career with the franchise that he gave his heart and soul for, and experienced his most success. I think that he knows that his time as an NBA player has basically come to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Wallace tried very hard for Cleveland and had a great time....I don't thin he didn't play hard because he wasn't in Detroit. He'll be just as bad this year and that's because he's on the decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amare320 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 He's really just a very small shade of his former playing self now, he'll give you flashes off what he used to do which i think will workout just fine for Detroit if they use him at the right time, though the Pistons not being a contending team this season kinda makes me think he's not going to be the biggest use of help in the world but we'll see what happens i guess. He's been pretty decent this preseason which is a good sign but again i think we can all see that Pistons are going in a younger sort of direction with this team and will probably act upon that by using the young fowards as much as possible.
