If you're a glass half full kind of person, this is the stat for you.

Jalen Duren, the struggling Detroit Pistons center, is residing in a similar realm to all-time great Wilt Chamberlain.

The problem, though, is that the stat isn't a positive one.

Duren has the second-largest drop-off at the moment from regular season scoring average to playoff scoring average.

The only larger one was Chamberlain, but that was in the season he scored 50 points per game, so a bit of a drop-off in the competition of the playoffs was to be expected.

The Pistons' Game 5 usage of Paul Reed may sum up better than anything else how head coach J.B. Bickerstaff is feeling about Duren.

Reed didn't play at all in the first three quarters. But then, the guy who is nominally the third-string center played all 12 minutes of the fourth quarter and all five minutes of overtime.
