Quick question. How come I can't remember Alex Len hitting a hook shot? I mean, dude's enormous with long arms. Where's the hook? We're trying to turn him into Amare on offense, but dude looks like Rik Smits, except he can't hit a 4 foot hook shot. I'd say send him to Olajuwon's big man camp, except that's for advance post up moves, and Alex ain't even in the business of hitting gimmes yet in the post. We're sending out to the 3 point line instead. And that's fine and all, but can't we see a bit of the 2 footer before we get the 25 footer?

Sorry. Just watched this video from reddit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibivYGoY6FQ

Olajuwon's big man camp is one of the biggest "consultant" frauds in the NBA. It's where centers who have zero post game go to pretend they are learninng how to move their feet and do the Dream Shake. Robin Lopez and Marcin Gortat both worked with Hakeem and neither of them had any semblance of a post game when they were done. I hope they both asked for their $30,000 tuition back. :lol:

Alex Len made a hook shot over Hassan Whiteside.

He can do it over a 7-footer with athleticism and long arms.

Doesn't fit the whiners agenda, so you won't get much feedback. Good find. If Len can just do that and hit a 15 footer, fantastic!

In the long run, if Alex Len can turn out to be as good as Tyson Chandler, he will have been an excellent #5 draft pick.

He has the tools and perfect mentor. If he can become DPOY-level defender and get 10+ boards a game and be at least solid on offence then it's a pick well used.

I think between Len (Mutombo 2.0), Warren (Dominque 2.0) and Goodwin (Wade 2.0) we have a great base to build from. Add to these studs players of the calibre of Knight, Bledsoe and Chandler and I think we are a good shot at the title in the next 2 seasons.

Be careful around here with that kind of optimism.
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

If we have Mutumbo, Wilkins, Wade, Miller, Bledsoe, Knight, Chandler it would challenge for the greatest team in history.

Don't forget PJ Tucker (Charles Barkley 2.0), Mirza Teletovic (Dirk Nowitzki 2.0) and of course Markieff Morris (Rasheed Wallace 2.0 with even more f###ed brain)! ;)

Sorry, I forgot about Bogdan Bogdanovic (the white Jordan)

The best part is seeing him play with confidence and going to the basket STRONG to DUNK. None of this lay it in soft BS.

The second best part is seeing Bledsoe and Len develop chemistry and the 2 man game. Bledsoe is finding him near the basket for dunks! We finally have a PG/C attack combo!

I think we have Tyson to thank for this.
