The Pistons didn't come to terms with either on a rookie contract extension before the deadline earlier this week.

The Pistons skipped early extensions for Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, but both young stars still have a clear path to massive new deals. Here’s what they must prove to get paid in Detroit.

Both Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren will be restricted free agents in summer of 2026, after Pistons failed to extend either player at Monday's deadline.

Duren doesn’t miss opportunities. He rebounds at a high level (13th among centers for defensive rebound percentage). He finishes plays at a high level (69 percent field goal percentage). He was one of six players to average 10 rebounds and one block per game while shooting 60 percent or better from the field.
