Jalen Duren Is Breaking All The Rules…

Jalen Duren Is Breaking All The Rules…

Jaylen durren has been having a great second season in the NBA one of the few bright spots on him mostly memorable for all the wrong reasons Pistons team and he’s been playing his best basketball as of recent over his last seven games he’s averaging 16.4 points per game 14.7

Rebounds per game and 2.9 assists per game on a 70.1 field goal percentage and a 7392 shooting percentage and the Pistons have won three games during the stretch while dur may not have the perimeter upside of guys like Remy Chad or Apollo he still has monster upside in

His own right and it’s more proofed that basketball isn’t just evolving as a whole the archetypes within basketball are evolving as well but quickly before we go any further if you’re new and like basketball I would really appreciate if you would like subscribe and hit the notification Bell notified whenever I

On this video so YouTube recommend to others anyways let’s talk about jayen durren Jaylen durren has monster physical tools among the young players that are playing at the four or the Five Spot in the NBA he’s the most physically developed outside of maybe Paulo Pano

He’s 610 250 lb and while he may not be the 7 foot plus you see with other bigs he makes up for it with a 75 wingspan most NBA players don’t even reach what Jaylen durren is physically at their peak in mind you durren is only 20 years

Old he’s super physical which is evident in basically all aspects of his game he’s a good vertical athlete he’s a good player in terms of straight line speed he’s pretty fluid in terms of lateral movement especially at his size he was made in a lab to be a big man at every

Stage he’s been stronger than his peers high school college and even the NBA which is something that’s always been impressive considering he’s also been one of the youngest players for his group of peers at every stage of his basketball career Duren does most of his work on the interior as a scorer he’s

Shoting 71.5% the rim on 7.9 attempts per game putting him in 91% Talent terms of efficiency and 98% T in terms of volume at The Rim he’s a great play finisher 68.5% of his production at The Rim is assisted on he’s a great L threat

He’s a great dump off guy in the dunku spot he can run the Flor in transition he can get a put back and he also flashes some post ability with his back to the basket as well although I do think that’s still a work in progress

For him a lot of it is him just overpowering his Defender and that can get a bit out of control at times he has great hands which is is a big part of why he’s such a great play finisher and I think having good hands is an

Underrated aspect of being a big man he also has touch around the basket he can overpower most Defenders with his physicality what make feel like a bit of a throwback to a more bully ball era especially compared to modernday bags that are working more on the perimeter it’s clearly effective as he’s producing

Monster result with production and efficiency to back it up however Duren isn’t just a physical paint scorer he’s also someone with legit playmaking intangibles while the numbers may not fully reflect it he’s really advanced in this area he has great vision when reading the floor he makes really good

Reads his feel through the game is really high he has an ability to manipulate wall of dhos which I think is very underrated and the ability to make clean dribble hand arms inste some something I feel like doesn’t get talked about enough not all players are good at

It he reads the floor wall when running the rim and ring to the basket he’s not Nicole yit the man sabonis or B metab bio in terms of playmaking just because I think those guys are a bit better on the ball but I would still rank Duren

Among the better playmaking bigs in the NBA right now he has a functional handle he can fit passes into Tight Windows he can make a few Advanced reads even if it’s not something I would say is a strength of his game I also think that the ability to make the basic reads

Consistently is very valuable as well the way I would put it is While most modern bigs complement traditional big skills with perimeter scoring tools Duren complement his traditional big skills by being a playmaker I think he should be utilized more in this area because I think he could be a five plus

Assist per game guy if utilize properly and now nine games where he has at least four assists this season he’s averaging 4.1 assists per game with a 2.1 assist to turnover Raco that may not feel like an outstanding number but we usually associate asist a turnover ratio for

Guards and that wouldn’t be outstanding if he was a guard but I think it’s actually pretty impressive for a big in his second NBA season now durren hasn’t shown a ton of perimeter upside he only attempts 1.8 shs per game outside of at Rim this season and it’s a reason why

I’m not as high on his ceiling as some of his other young big hers even if I think he has a ton of upside however I don’t think he’s a lost cause in this area he has decent touch around the basket his form is pretty mechanically sound there’s nothing I see that’s

Really wrong with it and he’s gotten better as a free throw shooter he’s shooting 74.2% at the line this season which is a 13 .1% increase from his rookie season on similar volume which I think we’ve seen enough of a sample to believe that he legitimately has gotten

Better as a free throw Suitor I don’t see Duren ever becoming a stretch bag or even a big time mid-range sudu like a primal Lamarcus ald but the indicators for growth are there and I do think it’s reasonable to be optimistic that he can develop a solid mid-range game as a pick

And pop guy I don’t know if he will ever reach the point where he’s a major threat but I do see it reaching a point where it’s enough of a compliment to everything else he does we’re doing his best right now is as a rebounder because

He’s not as good for a young big in this regard he’s one the best rebounders in the NBA he’s averaging 12 per game which ranks fifth in the NBA his 8.6 defensive rebounds and 3. for offensive rebounds are respectively both in the 998th percentile he uses his physic ality on

Both sides of the glass which has proven to overwhelm most NBA teams he has an incredible motor which combined with great feel and positioning on top of great physical intangibles makes him a menace on the glass he creates extra possessions for his team and he’s able

To start a fast break due to his vision that allows him to quickly throw an outfit pass or bring the ball to quit himself with his functional handle this based out the fact he’s already won the best rebounders in the NBA as a 20-year-old seconde player player it’s

Realistic to believe he can be the best rebounder in the NBA as early as next season he has the physical tools you just can’t teach combined with the intangibles to capitalize on those gifts to reach his full potential as a rebounder offensively durren has really good upside defensively durren has the

Upside to be one of the best in the NBA his b game numbers don’t stand out the most because he averages less than one per game per that is his minutes played I will say that but when you watch him play you see the upside he’s still a

Work in progress he’s not perfect on defense he does have typical mistakes on tape that a lot of young defensive players make needs to cut down on the fouls but you also see the tools to be a truly special defender on top of the fact the Pistons are noticeably better

On tape when he’s on the court defensively than when he’s off the court the mobility to handle multiple defensive coverages he can drop he can head he can hold his own on a sweat the tools to protect the basket in both helps side and point of attack the

Wingspan to cover a lot of ground in the half court the physicality to overwhelm opposing defenses the motor to be engaged all the time on that end of the bo but what stands out the most to me is his feel for the game he’s one of the smartest young defensive players I’ve

Ever seen his ability to recover CES is incredible his defensive communication skills as a leader when he does read those coverages is well beyond his use again he’s not perfect by any means the numbers don’t stand out the most but you look at all the tools physically he has

Combined with all the tools mentally he has on defense and you see the potential for a monster defensive anchor and he has the motor to not only get better but also reach Heights defensively that will have him among the best in the NBA I wouldn’t put Jaylen durren in the same

Tier as guys like Ry Paulo or jet in terms of upside those guys are just more versatile in terms of perimeter upside in my opinion but I do think it’s fair to say that Duran has a legit star upside he’s already pretty good right now one of the few good players on this

Pistons team right now he’s a highly efficient paint score that’s productive one of the best rebounders in the NBA a good playmaker for his position at the very least an impactful Defender I think at his best during can be a 20 point per game 13 plus rebound per game four plus

Assist per game player with all defense ability and that’s a player in the right situation can make multiple Allstar teams but if he improves on his mid-range classes I think he could get to even around 23 points per game he’s made progress as a free throw suer to at

Least have hope he can grow as a mid-range suitter Duren kind of breaks all the rules for modern NBA basketball he goes against modern big standards he’s not handling the basketball like a guard even if it’s handles pretty solid he’s not pulling up from Deep from

Beyond The Ark but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a star either I have a whole time limiting the ceiling on a second-year big man with his physical Tools in terms of wingspan and physicality his feel for the game on both ends of the flooor his level of production and efficiency who’s already

Won the best in the NBA at a key skill well also being closer in age if not younger than most of the players drafted a year after he was then he is in age to those that were drafted in the same class as him the Pistons have been a

Disaster this season they’ve been the talking point for all the wrong reasons but it’s not like there isn’t hope alongside guys like Cade Ivy assar and Sasser when they let those two play there is hope you can’t spend 8 and 43 record it’s a disaster but you can be

Optimistic about your seconde big man that is already one of the best rebounders in the NBA with field for the game and intangibles to be one of the best players at his position as early as next season if he’s not there already but that’s the end of this video if you

Jalen Duren has been having a great second season in the NBA. One of the few bright spots on a mostly memorable (for all the wrong reasons) Pistons season. And he’s been playing his best basketball recently. While Duren may not have the guard like perimeter upside of guys like Wemby, Chet, or Paolo. He still has monster upside. And is more proof that basketball isn’t just evolving as a whole. The archetypes within basketball are evolving as well.

My name is Noah Terranova. On this channel I make videos breaking down the film of basketball players in both long term and single game contexts. I use a combination of advanced stats, basic stats, tracking stats, and what I take away from watching the games to form my evalutions. My goal is to give my own perspective on the game with my own little twist on how I choose to present it.
