Jalen Duren started the season on a heater, but has cooled down recently. In the last month, he's looked like a solid part of the Pistons' deep rotation rather than standing out as a star in his own right. The variance in his play could easily lead to some contract disputes between Duren and the Pistons front office next summer.
Can Jalen Duren establish himself as a star?
Make no mistake about it; Duren is having a career season either way. He's holding steady at 18 points and 11 rebounds per game while showing huge improvements in self-creation and defense.
