Fantasy Impact:
Duren, a one-year attendee at Memphis could step into a large role on a potentially rebuilding team in Portland if drafted by the Blazers. Duren showcased flashes of dynamic play in his year at Memphis, relying on his athleticism at the rim on both sides of the court. The 6'11", 250 pound big-man sports a 7'5" wingspan, which makes him an intimidating rim presence - primarily on the defensive side of the ball, averaging 2.1 blocks per game at Memphis last season. Duren will have to work on refining his post game in the NBA to unlock his potential, but his athletic profile should allow him to land somewhere in the mid-back half of the lottery.
