Announced! All-NBA Team selection! The NBA's most overrated All-Star center.

The NBA officially announced the All-NBA Team list for the 25-26 season as follows:

First Team: Alexander, Jokic, Wembanyama, Doncic, Cunningham;

Second Team: Jaylen Brown, Brunson, Durant, Leonard, Mitchell;

Third Team: Duren, Chet, Jalen Johnson, Maxey, Murray.

Duren is undoubtedly the most controversial pick, as his playoff performance this year was far from satisfactory. He averaged 30.1 minutes per game, contributing only 10.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 51.4%. In 14 games, he scored in single digits seven times. If he had performed better, perhaps the Pistons would be facing the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals right now.

However, considering the regular season alone, Duren absolutely deserved a spot on the All-NBA Third Team. He played 70 games, averaging 28.2 minutes per game and delivering 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2 assists, and a stellar 65% shooting percentage. He was selected to the All-Star team and helped the Pistons achieve an impressive 60-22 record, finishing first in the Eastern Conference.

With Duren making the All-NBA Team, the Pistons may actually face a bigger headache, as it means he could sign a supermax extension with the team this summer worth up to five years and $287.1 million, as detailed below:

2026-27 season: $49.5 million; 2027-28: $53.5 million; 2028-29: $57.4 million; 2029-30: $61.4 million; 2030-31: $65.3 million.

Salary expert Keith Smith commented: "I don't think Duren will get the max contract. I expect his extension with the Pistons to ultimately be five years for $185 million, with an average annual salary of $37 million."

It's worth noting that other teams can offer Duren up to four years and $177.4 million this summer, with an average annual salary of about $45 million. Of course, the Pistons have the right to match any offer.

Born on November 18, 2003, Duren is a 2.08-meter-tall center with a 2.26-meter wingspan, currently only 22 years old. In theory, he is still in the potential development stage, and there might be desperate suitors willing to offer him a max contract as a gamble.

Moreover, young and quality big men are extremely scarce in today's NBA, making it easy for them to land big contracts.
