Ben Wallace is formally joining the Detroit Pistons front office as a basketball operations and team engagement advisor, the team announced Friday. Wallace has been a mainstay with the Pistons in recent months including representing the team at the NBA Draft Lottery that netted them the No. 1 overall pick and eventually Cade Cunningham. He also has been at the practice facility throughout training camp working with the big men, and he was in the stands for the preseason opener against the San Antonio Spurs.
Wallace will be tasked with assisting Troy Weaver and the operations staff, Dwane Casey and the coaching staff and work with young players on both the Pistons and the Motor City Cruise.
