For those of you who have been subscribed to the channel for a while now
You know how high I am on pistons big man Jalen Duren. I believe he was their best rookie in 2023. I think long term he’s the second most important player on the team. I truly believe he has Star upside.
And I don’t think most NBA fans truly understand just how good of a player he was as a rookie and has the potential to be. Which is what I want to talk about in this video.

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.

He’s just bullying people and he’s 19. Sheesh! 😅
Highest level Duren is Ben Wallace with a semi consistent offensive game.
Lowest level he's Andre Drummond.
Highest level Bam Adebayo type
He has some chris webber in him near the rim dunk that shit!!!
His ceiling is going to be so unique. He has the strength, and size to bully grown men with the I.Q. and skill to to go with a blossoming offensive arsenal that can include shooting 3's at an NBA average someday. He could be something the NBA has never seen before. I think him, and Ausar has the most unique 2 way skill that could possibly have the biggest stakes into the Pistons becoming Championship contenders in the future. We all know what Cade brings, and Ivey needs to improve on his defense, and not playing so selfishly Ausar, and Jalen play hard, but within the offense, and never disrupts the flow that's why I like their ceilings better.
He a 7footer now fam
dwight howard 2.0
Glad you see what we all see. Now it's up to the Pistons organization to see it too and let him grow and bloom, something they have been historically the worst in the league at. Development of great talent. For me, Cade, Ivey, Duren, and Ausar are untouchable and have allstar potential. Here's hoping they don't set Duren up for failure.
Boogie spent 90% of his career as the main option
Don't downplay Duran. He's Kevin Garnet 2.0
Second best center in his draft class
Duren averaged like 20 rebounds on one of my nba franchises online
So duren got Bam potential
The touch on his shot makes me think he going to be a good shooter. He showed flashes of having decent ball handling for his, albeit a bit stiff; like he was still thinking about what move hes going to make. As of Summer league(i dont take to much stock into summer league other than intangibles) he looks way more fluid, more doing and making plays and less thinking. I actually think offensively he will be a 3 level scorer in a few years. If he can reach his ceiling defensively, thats one scary dude.
People be overhyping
So we not gon mention how the hornets love fumbling the 13th pick. This kid might still grown and if so. O m g
💯
He could be something close to.Dewight but dewight was way better then him at this stage.If he learn how to hit the corner three and midrange.He will then be a Allstar
100 percent agree they didn’t utilize his passing enough.. pistons were one of the worst teams if not the worst team in terms of ball movement last year.. hoping a new coach changes that
i would love to see Jalen duren put on muscles and skills to expand his low post moves and continue on improving his skills and everything else in his game.
