Ausar, Keyonte Get Paid! How will this Affect others from 2023 Class (and Jalen Duren)?

Ausar, Keyonte Get Paid! How will this Affect others from 2023 Class (and Jalen Duren)?

Author: Locked On Podcast Network September 20, 2026 Duration: 31:57
On Friday, rising Pistons defensive wing Ausar Thompson and rising Jazz bucket-getter Keyonte George both received extensions from their respective teams. Both were for roughly the same terms and created interesting storylines around the league. For Detroit, Thompson getting paid naturally raises the question of how the summer-long (and by multiple reports, increasingly tense) stalemate will last between them and All-NBA center Jalen Duren. For the rest of the league, these new contracts could impact the negotiations for fellow 2023 draft class guys like Cason Wallace, Scoot Henderson, Anthony Black, Bilal Coulibaly, Brandon Podziemski, Derrick Lively II, and Jaime Jacquez Jr. And what to make of this class in general?
