Looking Forward
In a situation that isn’t tailormade for a young, developing Big, Duren has consistently displayed his NBA-ready style of play. He is freakishly strong at such a young age—reminding some fans of Bam Adebayo or Dwight Howard. Without someone to set him up, Jalen has shown how difficult it can be to have your offense through a rim-running big. He has shown some mid range flashes, as well as some pretty passing. Young prospect with a ceiling that can rival top players at his position at the next level.
