That 2025 Milwaukie pick has been on a j o u r n e y. It was in the Jrue Holiday trade, the CJ McCollum trade, the Jerami Grant trade and now it looks like it’ll be in the Kemba/Jalen Duren trade. – 9:32 PM

So where is Jalen Duren going and does he even know where he is going? I’m confused with these tweets – 9:31 PM

CHARLOTTE HORNETS PICK JALEN DUREN OF MEMPHIS #13
SNAP GRADE: C
@David Thorpe: I like Mark Williams much more. They clearly don’t. Detroit worried Duren would be taken at 14? Confused. He adds needed size, agility to their defense. Pistons gonna be big.

Jalen Duren is a perfect fit for the Charlotte Horn… oh. – 9:28 PM
Kerry Eggers @kerryeggers
Charlotte got an intriguing big man in 6-11, 250-pound Jalen Duren, who played in the Portland Regional with Memphis in March. Very strong young big, good around the hoop and pretty athletic though not yet with a perimeter game. Old-school but should develop into a good pro – 9:28 PM

Jalen Duren was one of my five players for Pistons fans to keep an eye on in the combine, along with Ivey, Mathurin, Murray and Sharpe.
Thought he was a long shot at 5, but worth bringing up again amid rumors that the Pistons could acquire a late first. They like Duren. pic.twitter.com/pljz9Rtpv2 – 5:46 PM

Shams Charania: Sources: Charlotte will pick Jalen Duren at No. 13. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / June 23, 2022
The Detroit Pistons have been identified as a “possible trading partner” with the Charlotte Hornets for forward Gordon Hayward. ESPN’s Jonathan Givony dropped that report amid an NBA mock draft blurb predicting Memphis big man Jalen Duren to the New York Knicks at No. 11. “Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver is one of Duren’s biggest fans in the NBA, sources say, and could very well look to target him in a draft night trade if he continued to slide down the board, especially to Charlotte, which has been identified as a possible trading partner for the Pistons in a potential Gordon Hayward deal.” -via Bleacher Report / June 23, 2022
Rylan Stiles: Jalen Duren “I’m happy to go anywhere. Anywhere that feels like they want me, I’m happy to go anywhere.” Mentioned it’s a blessing to be drafted. -via Twitter @Rylan_Stiles / June 20, 2022
