Im a big believer in Duren though, and I love that he can actually handle and pass a bit already. He should be able to tap into that more. Also, he can get a midrange game and improve as a FT shooter, and now youre looking at an extremely solid all-star player.
Anyways, if you're not taking Duren top-4 right now in a re-draft, I think you're trolling. And when Monty freaking Williams finally decided to let Ivey play basketball, its not looking too shabby either for him. Might be the 5th pick.
This draft ended up being really good.
1. Banchero
2. Chet (could make strong argument for #1 just because of how efficient and unique he is)
3. Jalen Williams (OKC got a stud here)
4 - 5. Keegan Murray, Jabari Smith Jr
6 - 10. Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivey, Walker Kessler Jr, Benedict Mathurin, Shaedon Sharpe(still super high upside I think)
Jabari Smith Jr just has the perimeter skills and shooting to be your prototypical great 3&D starting PF. I personally am still higher on Duren's upside but I think the majority of people would take him over Duren at this point.
