3. BIG BEN
Add Ben Wallace to a team that has already led the league in defensive field goal percentage last year, and what have you got? The 2006-07 Chicago Bulls, more than likely a very serious NBA title contender.
4. NO BIG BEN
Subtract Ben Wallace from the defensively devastating equation in Detroit and what have you got? A still very good team, albeit one in transition. A re-defining of team identity is definitely in order: expect the Pistons to play more zones, both to cover up for the loss of Wallace and to take advantage of their exceptional overall team-length. And watch Coach Flip Saunders expand the play-book quite extensively on the offensive end.
9. OUT OF THE DARK-O
Mr. Milicic, religiously ignored in Detroit for two and a half years, averaged 4.82 blocked shots per 48 minutes -- ranking fifth in the NBA -- following his trade to Orlando. If this 21-yearold 7-footer -- who was picked ahead of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony in the brilliant 2003 draft, after all -- turns out to be a player, it could be Magic-time in Orlando.
