Appearing on NBA Today earlier this week (YouTube link), University of Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway said it was “very important” to Duren to re-sign with the Pistons. The former NBA star was Duren’s coach during the 22-year-old’s lone college season with the Tigers. “Jalen is a guy that … he wants to finish where he started,” Hardaway said. And he’s gonna play his heart out for Detroit. … They’ve only scratched the surface, and with him being an All-Star for the first time (last year), his heart and soul is in Detroit.
