Duren's next step is playing through the elbows as a passer with shooters around him.
“That's where the next step is for him. … Understanding how good of a passer he is, then what it looks like when you put the ball in his hands at the elbows, and now you've got shooting all around.”
Duren looks faster and more explosive with a better face-up game.
“He's done a really good job of making small improvements all around. You know, he appears to be faster, more explosive. His face-up game has improved. You know, his work around the basket has improved as well.”
Duren has been switchable on defense and able to guard smaller players so far.
“Defensively being in his right spots, you know, being switchable and being able to guard smaller guys so far. So he's looked really good.”
