ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
▲ BUY

Back-to-back 100+ scores and Durham's recovery from the mid-season slump is complete. 106 in a contested 14-point loss to GWS — that is the real Durham, not the R5-R6 blip. Averaging 101 against a 57 BE at $389k, his value score of 0.26 is elite for a MID at this price. Cash gen is still slightly negative as the price finds its floor, but the scoring says buy. If you sold at the R5 call, buy him back now — the window closes as his price corrects upward. Own him freely.
