Jalen Duren · It’s always nice to start your NBA career off with a win, especially if you play a big role in the victory. Jalen Duren immediately checks both things off his list for the Detroit Pistons, in one fell swoop corralling a steal and firing an outlet pass up the court to teammate Cory Joseph, who then waits a beat before hitting a cutting Duren in stride. The 13th overall pick in the draft finishes the play by posterizing a helpless Orlando Magic defender. Duren gave his new squad a big lift off the bench, tallying 14 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in 22 minutes, allowing the Pistons to open the season with a 113-109 win on October 19, 2022. · State of Mint · State of Mint
