Jalen Duren is a professional basketball player with the Detroit Pistons in the NBA. Standing at 6 feet 10 inches and weighing 250 pounds, he's a force to be reckoned with.
Before starring in the NBA, Duren made a name for himself as a consensus five-star recruit and one of the top players in the 2021 class. He played college basketball for the Memphis Tigers, where he had an impressive freshman year, earning First Team All-AAC and AAC Freshman of the Year honors. His outstanding performances led Memphis to their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2014.
On 2022 NBA draft night, the Charlotte Hornets selected Duren with the 13th overall pick. However, the Detroit Pistons were keen to pair Duren with fellow rising star Cade Cunningham, and pulled off a draft day trade to secure Duren.
In his debut season in Detroit, Duren averaged an impressive 9.1 points and 8.9 rebounds in 24.9 minutes per game. Duren's rise offers hope to Detroit that he can be a cornerstone in leading the franchise to success after nearly a decade of struggle and no championship prospects.
