Sometimes when Joe Dumars sees "Big Nasty" getting down and dirty in the paint, he gets flashbacks of former Piston and good friend Adrian Dantley, who was the team's best low-post threat in the 1980s. Corliss Williamson (6-foot-7) is bigger, stronger and does his job quicker than Dantley (6-5) did. Although Dantley scored more, they are almost the same player in what they give the Pistons offensively. "They both have the same approach and concept of the game," Dumars said. "They are both stoic and businesslike. They both say, 'I want to take the highest-percentage shot possible.' You rarely see them take wild, out-of-control shots." Williamson is the Pistons' third-leading scorer (12.8 average), and his .514 shooting percentage heading into Wednesday's game against Chicago ranked 10th in the NBA.
