Draymond on Jalen Duren
Draymond Green: “I tell y’all what, man: Jalen Duren has got to be one of the strongest guys I’ve ever played in my career. I had spoken a while back about Jalen Duren being strong coming into the league, but not really knowing how to use that strength. He wasn’t soft; he just didn’t really know how to apply the strength. Well, I’m here to tell you something: three, four years later, he’s by far the strongest player in the NBA. Dude’s strong as hell, and he knows how to use it now. Nonetheless, it was fun playing against those guys. It’s always great having the opportunity to go back home and play, and see people that have cheered for me my whole life. You get a lot of people coming down from Saginaw, obviously. I’ve been all through the state of Michigan, spending a lot of time in Bloomfield Hills and the Birmingham area throughout the course of my later life, as I got into late high school, college, and the NBA. Just a lot of people that I’ve built relationships with over the years.”
