Jalen Duren

Jalen Duren is not supposed to move like this. The Pistons center sets a screen 35 feet from the basket, slips his man and rolls hard to the free throw line where Cade Cunningham hits him in stride. From there, Duren attacks the rim, plants and executes a fluid euro step before flushing a reverse jam that belies every expectation of a 7-footer. He finished with 23 points on 91% shooting and 13 rebounds in Detroit's 114-96 victory in Phoenix on January 29, 2026.
