TIER 5 · #42 OVERALLDepth piece — #7 among centers

Jalen Duren is ranked #7 among 58 eligible NBA centers. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 1.3 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (29.6/game vs 27.6 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.

#38Projected rank

63.3ADP (ESPN drafts)

We rank him #38 versus an ADP of 63.3 — the market drafts him 17 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: growing workload (29.6 minutes/gm late vs 27.6 season), a late-season decline in per-minute production.
