Re: How good is Alex lenn from 1 to 10
This is his 8th season in the NBA.. he's not great meaning he was definitely not worthy of being a lottery pick. But he's a capable bench big. The problem is that bigs are just not as important in today's NBA as they once used to be.
If a trash player that shouldn't have been in the league is a 1. And let's say a mid-level player is a 7.. then he's about a 4 or 5. But that's mainly again because of the center position and what happened to it.

Never judge a player who has been on bad teams his whole career.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

This exactly. Nurse has stated that they have been keeping tabs on Len and Baynes for a while.
I think Len defending Giannis and Embiid did not go unnoticed. Maybe they like his shooting form and project him to be able to shoot the 3, like Baynes developing the shot in his 30's (also Horford)?

I used to be a recording artist and I was gonna do a song with them for $500. I didnāt do it because I picked a different style, and looking back, it was a good call. Talk about a 1 hit wonder.
think about the royalties they are still getting from that
i miss the days when the bricks was only nineteeeeeeeen, i need a 100 right now

How much of Alex Lenn have you really watched?

Re: How good is Alex lenn from 1 to 10
The fact that he can hit 3s and take bigs off the dribble from the 3pt line will do wonders for him and our offense this year.
I'm a fan and looking forward to our new C rotation, b/c I damned sure disliked Gasol, especially last year.

Jury is still out on Stanley. I hope he gets the RHJ's minutes! the talent and defense are there.

6 against the right matchups, 3 against the rest.
Not too many right match-ups though.

Comparing him to Araujo is a disgrace in itself. A pill would have been helpful. I give him a 4..

Carroll got hurt, which basically negated all of the skills he was signed for.
Stanley is just bad.
Len....are his hands still as bad as Ibaka's?

His scale looks about 5.5 until further evidence under Raps uniform
If Len gets spoon fed the kind of wide open threes Marc was getting he'll be a superstar

During regular season maybe true enough. But come playoff time when everything slows down to the physicality of the half court, the big man becomes so much more important.
