Jalen Duren will enter the 2022 NBA Draft.
Durant spent his freshman season at Memphis and is the No. 7 prospect in the draft, according to ESPN.
Duren was named AAC Freshman of the Year and First-team All-AAC after averaging 12.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 25 minutes per game.
“Going to Memphis was a fun experience,” Duren said. “It was a great challenge. Making the NCAA tournament and playing in front of the whole world on national television. Huge game atmospheres. I learned a lot and it really helped my growth and development. During the season we dealt with a lot of injuries, we couldn’t quite get the chemistry right on the court. Once we got everyone back, it helped the team and my game. I started to understand the game better. Help defenses. How opponents were guarding me. I noticed that more as the season went on and that allowed me to do a lot more.”
