[Highlights] Jalen Duren’s 27 points and 22 rebounds against Portland last night got no love. He turned 20 in November; if he played for the Lakers, they’d be talking about him on Sportscenter every night

I love Duren, but doesn’t this apply to any good player that plays for the Lakers?
He’s on the pistons that’s why.
Real fans know duren is legit
rent free
Pistons hit a huge 2-win streak to cut the record down to 8-43, and the evil media still ignore them.
No love? It got posted 3 or 4 times yesterday
Easy fix.
Send him to the Lakers
That’s correct, but he’ll also get unfairly criticized and be called overated cause he plays there. Unless you’re Vando. Everyone love that guy
His stats are definitely great; I haven’t been able to watch any Pistons games, how’s his defense?
I don’t think they’re talking about him on SC because “will the pistons get to 10 wins?” is the more intriguing segment
Yeah when you play for a dog shit team you usually get less recognition
Sick connection pass from Ausar, as well.
9CAT GOAT
Dark vs Dark jersey is just terrible for viewers. F**k you Nike.
stop mentioning the Lakers in everything lol
Okay fine. Send him to the Lakers
They arent talking about it because we are still ass. Jalen’s great offensively, but we will need to win some games and have him pick it up as a defensive anchor for him to receive league wide chatter.
This is called the devin booker treatment. Empty stats until he makes a playoff run.
I agree with the Lakers point but using a player on the >10 win pistons is not the best argument lol
The Pistons are 8-43, and you’re wondering why they dont get national media coverage??
1. Cade 2. Ivey 3. Risacher 4. Thompson 5. Duren
That’s honestly a super promising starting 5 if they can draft well this year.
I would take Pistons future over a lot of other bottom dwelling teams
The Blazers top 3 centers were out and all they had was a young 2 way guy available. No one does that against DominAyton
I love me some Duren. But I am a Pistons fan.
I think the last of a spotlight has as much to do with being on a team with by far the worst record and a historic losing streak has as much to do with him getting no love outside of Detroit as his not playing in a big market does.
It’s not like Randle and DLo were getting a lot of press in LA when the Lakers were losing (outside of stories tied ofIggy Azalea
Dude I’m sorry I like Duren and he has upside but wtf is this victim complex shit. He played the blazers who aren’t that good and had a dominat game with players missing from the team
He looks like an a bigger Amare Stoudamire. If he can develop that mid range he will be a problem
This ain’t got nothing to do with the lakers he playing on an all time bad team nothing they are doing is worth talking about.
I checked the reddit last night for NBA highlights/news and the top posts were 2 different posts of Thanasis doing a mid shamgod, and Deni Avidja throwing a ball out of bounds. This sub is cooked
Just trade him to the grizzlies already. Please. Trade deadlines don’t really matter.
It’s incredible to watch him live. I didn’t know about Duren at first but he quickly stood out with his rebounds and points in his rookie year.
Tbf, if he did it playing vs. LAL they would talk about it too…
What I love about Duren is that he is making some great passes this season. Assists are up to 2.6 /game compared to 1.1 last year.
jesus, can you guys forget Lakers? enjoy the player.
physically dominant big man, I miss this prototype of a player. So fun to watch
Who cares the pistons havent even won 10 games. Easy to put up numbers when your entire team is ass and you can have the ball all the time
Almost like the Lakers are a way bigger deal than the Pistons due to things like location, fanbase, history, and accomplishments.
Victim mentality shit
