It's not surprising that he's "not a natural basketball player".
Alex Len's primary focus was gymnastics growing up...so what seems second nature to many players probably doesn't to him.
I just know you can't teach 7-1, 250, crazy wing span and athleticism.
Yeah Len looked really good. Played with passion, effort, heart. Terps made a strong effort to get the ball in to him. Showed it all... soft touch around the basket, pick n pop, getting to the line and making them, running the floor. Makes you wonder what took so long. Why wasn't this happening all season??
True Terps have zero PG play. The guards they have are all trying to get there own shot, and utilizing Len is the last thing on their minds. Agree he's been very disappointing as a college player, but he is intriguing as a pro prospect. He is not a soft perimeter center like Bargnani. He is a low post center, with an array of offensive skills. His size and agility is impressive. I can see how he might thrive in the more wide open NBA.
Bennett is also intriguing. He's a PF though. His size, and those massive shoulders and long arms leave no doubt. And he's only going to get bigger and stronger. And his offensive skills at PF are more unique, and adding that weapon to the Wizards arsenal in the front court would vastly improve the team offense, provided Webster is retained.
I'm gonna say Noel, then Porter top my list for the Wizards. After that, it really gets murky. I'm thinking Bennett, then Len. But I'm not positive about the order. But I'd say that at least is my top 4, I'll be happy if we end up with any of these. My personal favorite though for the Wizards is Otto Porter.
