The 22-year-old is the son of Brigitte Duran, who suited up for the Tigresses from 1987 to 1988 and won a pair of UAAP championships under coach Orly Bauzon. She was also a teammate to current UST Tigresses head coach Haydee Ong.
Standing at 6-foot-4, Duran-Hentschel studied at University of Amsterdam in Netherlands and graduated with a masters in business administration.
He also played briefly for BC Apollo Club in Amsterdam, the club's amateur team, in the Netherlands.
