Jalen Duren rumblings could be troubling sign for Onyeka Okongwu

On The Zach Lowe Show, host Zach Lowe noted potential trade rumblings linking Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren to the Atlanta Hawks. Lowe emphasized he was not completely convinced the rumblings were accurate, but noted Atlanta has a need for interior size along with draft assets to facilitate potential deals.

While Onyeka Okongwu enters the upcoming season as Atlanta's starting center, reports of interest in outside centers raise questions regarding his long-term role. Duren is highlighted as a potential long-term fit who could develop alongside Hawks players such as Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, and Kingston Flemings.
