Chicago Bulls: 3 Dennis Rodman teammates you forgot about

The last name on this list comes from the team that Rodman spent most of his playing days with, and started out with early in his career. Rodman was the 27th overall pick of the Pistons in the second round of the 1986 NBA Draft. He would play for the Pistons until the conclusion of the 1992-93 season, when the famed Bad Boys days were already behind this team.

A significant, but often forgotten, teammate of Rodman’s only during his final year in the Motor City was the 16th overall pick of the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1990 NBA Draft, 6-foot-10 power forward Terry Mills. This Michigan Wolverines product and Romulus, MI, native started out his career actually with the Denver Nuggets.

Mills was traded from the Bucks to the Nuggets (in exchange for then veteran center Danny Schayes) in August 1990. He would only play in 17 games during his rookie season with the Nuggets before he was shipped to the New Jersey Nets as part of a three-team trade that would also involve players like Drazen Petrovic and Walter Davis.

Staying a member of the Nets for just bits and pieces of two more seasons before he signed with the Pistons, Mills was starting to become a more effective big man in the NBA. Then he would really find his way in just his first season with the Pistons. That was also the only season that Rodman and Mills were teammates (during the 1992-93 campaign).

Mills played in 81 regular season games in 1992-93 (starting 46 of them). He averaged a career best (at the time) 14.8 points per game, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.6 blocks, while shooting 46.1 percent from the field during the 1992-93 campaign.
