Got on the phone with legendary Pistons coach (and Memphis assistant) Larry Brown to chat about what he saw from Jalen Duren last season and why he’s in a “perfect situation” in Detroit.
“He’s in a really, really good place and I’m excited for him."
Jalen Duren didn't want to let go of his new Pistons jersey in Detroit. He said he fell in love with the organization after one visit.
He played at Memphis, with Rasheed Wallace and Larry Brown helping coach him. Our interview:
A POTENTIAL**** roster that consists of these players is for sure a play in team and u can’t tell me otherwise
PG Cade/Killian
SG Ivey/Monk/Hami
SF Bey/Livers
PF Bridges/Bagley
C Duren/Stew
Going into the draft, the talk was the Pistons would never get No. 7 in a deal for Jerami Grant.
By completing separate deals associated w/ Grant, I'd bet Troy Weaver acquired the same player he would have taken at No. 7 for Grant in Jalen Duren
