Contract Value Index (CVI)
Jalen Duren's contract with the Detroit Pistons represents outstanding value, earning an A Contract Value Index grade — the team is getting significant on-court production relative to what they are paying. Jalen Duren's on-court production this season — 19.2 points per game with an A Performance grade — places him as an elite contributor at the center position. His $6.5M average annual value represents above-minimum salary in the current NBA salary landscape. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they are getting elite production at a bargain price, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds championship-caliber rosters. He is entering or in his prime, which adds upside to the contract — there is reason to believe his production could improve as he continues to develop. The 1-year, $6.5M commitment is a short-term arrangement that limits risk for both sides.
