That Pistons team had one all-star that year - Ben Wallace, a guy who averaged 9.5ppg on .421FG% and .490FT%. Keep in mind that was also the year Jamaal Magloire was an all-star in the East. The Eastern Conference was VERY thin at the center position back then.
Ben Wallace was also the only Piston to make an All-NBA team (second team) or All-Defense team (first team) that year. The individual accolades for the other players did not come until after they won a title. That team didn't have a superstar. What they had was a solid starting five that played very well together. They didn't have a single player that averaged more than 18.6ppg or had a PER above 18.8 (I know it's just a general rule of thumb but PER = 20 is considered borderline all-star).
If that's the model we are emulating, Olshey is doing the right thing. He's assembled a solid starting five that have great chemistry and play well together. We already have two all-stars and Lilliard should continue to improve. Our other three starters are all very solid, easily top 10 at their positions. What we need is a better bench, and that's what Olshey is working on improving. Let that solid starting core continue gel and improve the bench through the growth of our young guys (CJ, Robinson, and Barton) and add some vets (Kaman and Blake) for stability.
We won 54 games and made the second round last season with the worst bench in the league. Solidify the bench and we should be even better this year.
