I'll say 2 things 1st This young man may be the best two way big in the league by year 4-5 he's not just a rim runner. He can really handle the ball has great passing chops and will begin to show off the jump shot (that he already has) as he plays more games. 2nd I'm always an extreme skeptic of these often b.s. growth spurts you hear about via homer fans and sports writers. However after actually seeing him Duren is all of 7ft now. He was literally forehead to forehead with Mark Williams who measured 7ft with no shoes at the combine. Detroit has a monster.
Duran is an absolute monster. Cade unlocks his full potential in the pick and roll. Cade puts his defender in jail and duren rolls past his man for the thread pass every time. They r gonna B hard 2 stop.
Weaver was considering taking Duren at 5 if Ivey wasn’t available, that’s how high he was regarded. Duren’s passing is another aspect which makes him special and a threat, for example popping the ball over to Stew. Between him, Stew and Thompson, the Pistons are going to out rebound and hustle a lot of teams, but these are also smart players, and with a great coach, Cade, and Ivey too, the sky is the limit; may just take some time but great start to the season.
I love watching this guy play. He’s a team player through and through. Watching him fake out players at the rim is awesome. He understands how to manipulate his opponents into making errors. Dude has major presence. And passes the rock to the right person. I can only see him getting better and better with an IQ like that 🏀💫
Definitely get the C Webb comparisons more than the others (especially Ben Wallace) thrown about, although his offensive game is obviously less developed. That said, I can completely see Duren starting to focus on developing that aspect of his game during the offseason for year 3 and beyond, and being successful at it. He has already shown the advanced passing acumen part of his game.
Keep up the fire content really appreciate you highlighting new players like this. I expect him to improve this season even more when it comes to understanding the nba itself, at least thats the most important factor for him he’ll improve on imo
I don't really watch much basketball but im a big Detroit sports fan and after all these years of bad teams every team has shown excitement for me and I've always wanted a team like the old pistons with the bad boys and the 04 team which I never got to see so im pumped up
Excitement has definitely built thru three games. Last year we couldn’t defend to save our lives so it seems like that has been the most instant impact of Bringing in Monty
Very excited for this season as a Piston fan. As mentioned in the video, the game has slowed down for Duren. Both he and Cade play with a pace of guys that have been in the league for years.
@@cryptozoro8107 goes to show you shouldn't speak on things you don't fully know. If that's the case, I stand corrected. I forget these pro athletes are still so young and can still just grow like that.
Cade is 22, he’ll hit his prime in 3 years and be amazing, and when that happens Stewart will turn 25… and Duren will just be turning 22! 3 years from now!!! Ivey will be 24 and Thompson 22. Keep the core together!
Lifelong Pistons fan, tattoo on my back to prove it, but soon as you said “18 points…” that’s where the comparison with Big Ben ended 😂 Dude has FAR more offensive skill than Ben Wallace. Excited to watch JD work.
I see 15 and 17 per game with 2 blocks and a steal & a half a game. Good enough to represent the Eastern Conference in this years all star game. LETS GO DETROIT BASKETBALL 🏀 👏 😤 💪
Duren is a 16/13/4 with a 63/0/55 shooting split that is the end product, he has limitations that cant be ignored imo. Good addition to detroit for sure but im not as hyped as other seem to be. Dont see all-star, more like solid starter.
"Coming into this NBA season people were already writing off this team that wasn't going to win a lot of games." That's still 100% true. They were the worst team in the league last year. They should be slightly better since Cunningham is healthy enough to be on the court, but they're a basement dweller again.
He’s already this good at 19, im scared to see him in his prime
Pistions gonna get that chip in 2025-26
hopefully excited
He's gonna be the best player in the league

He’s not the next bam, he is the next Jalen Duren !!
He’s the next Shaq
Thanks for covering the new Detroit Pistons---- we are looking forward to the team development
He has impressive coordination for a big and he so effortlessly gets up to dunk on putbacks and in transition. He is a special talent!

The next Bam is selling him short!
Gotta give props to Monty as well, he's teaching them how to win and holds them accountable to be better

He will be better than Bam....
Most definitely, but Bam is a quality Center.
Duren is trending to be the gen z Dwight Howard just with a more modern skill set
I knew he would go off and he is getting me like 60 fantasy points a game!!

Duren grew and he’s rumored to be more 7’0 than 6’10 now
The coaching upgrade in Detroit is obvious after just 3 games.
Facts, with Casey it was just iso after iso, with Monty we actually look like a somewhat cohesive basketball team.

So excited to see what's coming
The city is excited baby🙌
Bogey be like,
"Don't trade me please..."
Super excited, credit to Monty. Every player seems better
He’s 7 foot 1 and bam is 6 foot 9 plus he’s more athletic than bam as well as more versatile.
He's 6'10
He's 7 ft 1. He grew over the summer and is still growing. Isaiah Stewart spoke on durens growth spurt before the preseason started
@@cryptozoro8107 goes to show you shouldn't speak on things you don't fully know. If that's the case, I stand corrected. I forget these pro athletes are still so young and can still just grow like that.
Cade and Duren is Detroit Version of Bron and Shaq what a duo that was they ended up getting best record in East that year !
He had a growth spurt over the summer. Asur Thompsons dad expects him to have one as well. Their both fairly young!
PIstons thank Kemba Walker for bringing Jalen Duren to Detroit.
I was skeptical before the season but… besides bucks, the pistons got the pick & roll in the east.
Deeeeetroit BasketBaLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Glad our GM was able to make that trade
Cade is 22, he’ll hit his prime in 3 years and be amazing, and when that happens Stewart will turn 25… and Duren will just be turning 22! 3 years from now!!! Ivey will be 24 and Thompson 22. Keep the core together!
He's only 19, he could still grow a few inches.
Good content. This is Thinking Basketball level stuff. Well done
When he adds a consistent perimeter shot look out. He could end up as one of the top big men in the NBA in a couple years
this guy is shawn kemp 2.0
dope vid famalamo thanks for the breakdown
the pistons are very nice rn
Lifelong Pistons fan, tattoo on my back to prove it, but soon as you said “18 points…” that’s where the comparison with Big Ben ended 😂
Dude has FAR more offensive skill than Ben Wallace. Excited to watch JD work.
I feel like Duren has more potential to enforce his will in the game than Bam currently does right now.
I got this man being David Robinson Good
Honestly not much has changed with duren from last season that us fans didn’t see except for Cade and more minutes
He reminds me of David Robinson Hakeem the dream type of style
LETS GO STONES!!
#DeeetroitBasketball
Dare I say play in playoffs 😮
I see 15 and 17 per game with 2 blocks and a steal & a half a game. Good enough to represent the Eastern Conference in this years all star game. LETS GO DETROIT BASKETBALL 🏀 👏 😤 💪
He gonna be more dominant than bam I can already see that no disrespect to the two time nba finals runner-up but seriously
He's already 3rd all time in double doubles by a teenager in NBA history, and he doesn't turn 20 until next month he can move up that list.
I can’t believe he is only 19.
The next bam, that's a joke. Next, Kevin Garrett 2.0 (probably more athletic).
Dwight more than bam
Not the next Bam, he's the real Jalen.
"The next bam" is honestly disrespectful. If you've watched him you know he's the next Dwight Howard
Duren is a 16/13/4 with a 63/0/55 shooting split that is the end product, he has limitations that cant be ignored imo. Good addition to detroit for sure but im not as hyped as other seem to be. Dont see all-star, more like solid starter.
Duren would’ve FEASTED in 2005.
He can rebound and score
Jalen - Ausar - Cade , JAC core of the pistons just like jokic - mpj - murray
JD is more Chris Webber, than Bam!
Easily better than bam lmao
Get this - the brain trust over at - "The Sporting News" - somehow managed not to even list Duren as one of the "top 30" centers in the NBA.
❤
The next, he has the talent to be way better than him.
He's already better than Bam if he keeps playing this way.
Not next bam,next ben wallace or more

No Pistons fan in their right mind compares Jalen Duren to Ben Wallace lol he's more of a young Dwight or Bam I can agree with, but defly not Ben.
Different kinds of people this guy is 19 years old how can he be compared to Bam he’s J Duren his own man his own style stop it
Wiseman career is over
I think He’s better than Bam
Playoffs this year. Ceiling 4th Seed, Floor 9th seed
So many better comps than Bam.
More like next cousin. Will be better than bam
You can do it MothaSucka
aged like sour milk ngl
So the bandwagon videos begin 😎
Still not gonna win a lot of games...
Take this video down 2-26
I wondered if other people also thought he reminded them of Ben Wallace
Do you want to be the next bam? Hes not that good lol. Typical detroit pistons. Hope this guy to become an eh player
Better than Bam. Don’t @ me
