    You are spot on. I don't know if it's a jumper or whatever. But he needs to find a way to be somewhat effective scoring away from the basket and be good as a facilitator. His defense has to be better near the rim.

    JD and ausar are still improving still getting better so their stats are still improving. where does Isaiah Stewart fall into this conversation like who plays better with beef stew? I do think every Batman needs a robin

  5. @kwyatt261

    Common sense says yes because who else really is there in their prime and healthy at center right now?

  7. @lurking0death

    Pistons simply cannot have opposing players shooting layups at will or firing shots uncontested in the paint. Duren and Stewart are Smurfs. Pistons need a 7 foot+ delux swatter. Pistons need a guy who can emboss "Wilson" on the faces of those who trespass the paint.

    Mark my words: been saying this for over a year. Duran is the Rainman on steroids!…without the dozens of baby mammas hopefully

    brother I'm for nerdy stuff first thing in the morning until I go to bed. If you want to derive some formulas I'm here for it.

    Sure, just add a floater, like that’s an easy thing to do. A jumper is easier to learn than a floater. If he’s on the move to have a floater I’d rather he continue strong and draw the foul.

  16. @cordelldemattei5446

    Defense is the only thing that will help Duren become a top 10 center. You said it in the opening segment, being a defensive anchor is pretty much the only thing for modern center with offense basically being adding gravy. Duren has a long way to go on defense, basically he needs to realize there is a lot more to defense than trying for a block.
