Duren, on the other hand, is pretty unskilled. He doesn't have good hands or a feel for the game. I haven't read anywhere of any latent skills he might have. I'd steer clear of him with a lottery pick.
if he shows everything he'd be a top 3 pick. he's pretty on par with bam as a prospect when bam was in college (not in terms of style but as a prospect) go back to bam draft and I bet no one had him in the top 5. duren has alot of upside due to his physical tools and his passing isn't bad. these are the kinds of players you want to draft, not guys like meyers Leonard Collins Zellers
Duren is more in the Drummond / Wiseman tier than Bam. He just isnt skilled.
As for Zach, it never worked out but I would still love him as a backup C.
On another note, Bennedict Mathurian with our later LP is pretty appealing. The idea of a future in like 3 years with a Simons / Mathurian backcourt makes a ton of sense. Some freaking size for once. And Mathruain is a passable playmaker too.
im gonna say we have a higher than 50 percent chance we won't have our later pick with the way pelicans are playing. hopefully ad can come back asap
