Love the level of detail you provided, especially with Duren’s pick setting. I’m curious what his synergy is with Cade, because Luka (a player Cade had fairly or not often been compared to) loves a rim runner, and I wonder how much Cade benefits from that style that Duren can bring.
For the mailbag: As a Spurs fan, I have heard lots about maximizing Wemby’s unique skill set. In your opinion, what would the optimal offense (motion, five out, more fast break etc.) and defense (drop, more switching etc.) look like for a Wemby team as the Spurs continue to hold their young core?
The Cade/Duren connection is real! I think you're spot on with that observation. Duren is a legitimately good offensive center, and the Pistons may well decide it's worth sacrificing a little defense from that position (since they have Ausar, who is uniquely capable of covering for Duren) if it keeps Cade happy and developing.
Their core three being an average age of 22 is remarkable and looking really nice especially with the condition the East is in.
Duren is perplexing because you’re right, the flashes are… wow. He’s a freak athlete big that could be a defensive monster with some IQ and instincts — which you pointed out he possesses on offense.
Detroit reminds me a lot of Houston from a year ago, right down to having a Thompson twin ha. A lot of promise and a lot of upside, but still some questions to answer.

Good Spurs question, I'll mull that over.
