Pistons have painfully obvious choice to make in Jalen Duren extension talks

Trajan Langdon has made it clear that he still has plenty to evaluate with his young roster, and one of the things he’ll be watching closely is the fit between Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson.

We’ve talked a lot about Jaden Ivey and what he has to do next season to be part of the long-term plans, but the Pistons may have a bigger problem lingering.

I’ve written about the Pistons going with an unorthodox starting five that has two non-shooters in it, and “non-shooters” may be underselling it, as both Duren and Thompson are not even threats to shoot jumpers at this point in their respective careers.
