Elite 2022 F Jalen Duren Prefers Catching Shots Over Swatting Them
Posted Feb 14, 2021
Jalen Duren won’t go as far as to call it genius, he just thinks it’s simple logic. Swat a shot out of bounds and you’ll stop a potential basket while likely drawing the “oohs” from the crowd. Catch a shot mid-air and you’ll not only stop the potential basket, but you’ll also retain possession. The reaction? “People don’t know what to think,” Duren said.
