6. Jalen Duren, C, Memphis

Best team fit: Indiana Pacers 

At least on paper, there may not be a team that makes more sense for Jalen Durant than the Indiana Pacers. Duren, during his freshman season at Memphis, averaged, 12 points, eight rebounds, and nearly two blocks per game.

Adding a prospect such as Duren at the NBA Draft would give the Pacers the liberty to either trade Myles Turner during the offseason or would even give the team a center that could play next to Turner.

In the modern game, Duren is an interesting prospect and almost exactly the type of center that you want to take your franchise to the next level. If he can prove he can develop a jump shot, he may rise up draft boards.
