2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ankle and back injuries, limiting Duren to 61 games, dampened a great season from the second-year center. He became a full-time starter and set career highs in points (13.8), rebounds (11.6), assists (2.4) and free-throw percentage (79.0%). At 20 years old, Duren was already one of the best rebounders in the league, finishing third in total rebound percentage (22.2), grabbing 14.4 boards per 36 minutes. His strong finishing ability (61.9 FG%) combined with his above-average free-throw percentage for a center makes him one of the most efficient bigs. What's holding Duren back at the moment is his below-par defense. Despite being a physical force, he averaged just 0.8 blocks and 0.5 steals last season. Considering he averaged about two blocks per game as a one-and-done college player at Memphis, Duren's defensive performance as a pro has been disappointing, but it leaves some hope for improvement. Ultimately, he's already established himself as a nightly 15-and-15 threat, and if he can work his way into playing minutes in the mid-30s with added skill, there's plenty of upside to be unlocked. Fantasy managers should feel pretty comfortable if he's their squad's best center, though the blocks category might need to be shored up. Read Past Outlooks

Pours in 21 points in Game 6 loss
Duren provided 21 points (6-9 FG, 9-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
Duren finished as the club's second-leading scorer after posting single-digit point totals in each of the club's last two games. The big man was highly efficient from the field once again, and he shot 65.0 percent from the field during the first round. The 21-year-old averaged 11.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.7 blocks across 33.9 minutes per game during the Pistons' first-round series loss to the Knicks. Duren averaged a double-double for the second consecutive season in the 2024-25 campaign. He played in a career-high 78 regular-season outings this year, finishing with averages of 11.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals across 26.1 minutes per contest.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The eye test is always dangerous when evaluating players, but Duren was a beast in the final months of his rookie season. The big man took on a much bigger workload when Bojan Bogdanovic and Isaiah Stewart went down, averaging 10.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks on 66 percent shooting over the final 44 games. Seeing a rookie grab double-digit boards is ridiculous, but it was evident that Duren doesn't play like a 19-year-old. All of that should theoretically make Duren a fantasy darling this year, but the context of this roster is a concern for fantasy managers. Not only are Bogdanovic and Stewart expected to be fully healthy, but James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley were thrown into the mix as well. Having that many young big men on a roster makes projecting minutes difficult. It's clear as day that Duren is the one worth building around, but this team has shown us that all three guys will get minutes. That means Duren could be capped at 25 minutes for most of the season, but he's already shown us he can be productive in that role. That's why he'll likely fall outside the Top 100 in most drafts, even though he's one of the most promising big men in the league.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Must decide when to negotiate
Duren must decide when it will be the right time to negotiate a contract extension with the Pistons, according to Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press.
ANALYSIS
Duren has two options to negotiate a new deal with the Pistons, as he could work on one during the summer but can also negotiate it in the summer of 2026 as a restricted free agent. Duren is widely expected to remain with Detroit and should be a long-term building block due to his two-way ability, but the timing of the potential extension remains uncertain due to the organization's salary cap situation.
