Snagging Jalen Duren could be exactly what Bucks guards need to ascend

The Milwaukee Bucks reportedly have serious interest in acquiring Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, according to a report from The Athletic's Sam Amick and Hunter Patterson. Duren's potential arrival is viewed as a significant boost for Milwaukee guards Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr., who both frequently ran the offense in pick-and-roll scenarios last season.

Duren proved highly effective as a roll man for Detroit, recording 242 points in pick-and-roll situations during the regular season. For Milwaukee, Rollins ranked 10th in total points as a ball-handler, while Porter placed among the top 15 in points per game despite Giannis Antetokounmpo missing substantial playing time.
