1994–95 Detroit Pistons season
The 1994–95 NBA season was the Pistons' 47th season in the National Basketball Association, and 38th season in the city of Detroit. After losing 60 plus games and the retirements of Bill Laimbeer and Isiah Thomas, the Pistons started a new era by drafting Grant Hill out of Duke University with the third pick in the 1994 NBA draft. The team also signed free agents Oliver Miller and Johnny Dawkins during the offseason. Hill became an immediate fan favorite leading the team with 19.9 points per game, as he was selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game along with Joe Dumars. However, after an 8–7 start to the season, the Pistons lost 13 of their next 14 games. They continued to struggle losing eight of their final nine games, finishing last place in the Central Division with a 28–54 record. Hill went on to share the Rookie of The Year honors with Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks. Following the season, Miller left in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft, Dawkins retired and head coach Don Chaney was fired.
For the season, the Pistons added red alternate road uniforms which lasted until the franchise's 1996 rebrand.Draft picks
