(WXYZ) -- Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, and Ben Wallace, who all won a 2004 NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons, are on the eligibility list for the Basketball Hall of Fame's 2018 class.

Billups and Hamilton are first-time nominees, as is seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill, who Detroit drafted in 1994.

The finalists for the class of 2018 will be announced in February during NBA All-Star Weekend, and the Hall of Fame class itself will be introduced in April during the NCAA Final Four.
