What's Alex Len's ceiling?

That's crazy, I had no idea he was a gymnast and a chess player.

That actually significantly changes the way I think about his game.

He's been putting in work

I think him and Gobert may end up being the two best players from the 2013 NBA draft.

Can't wait for next Jazz game to see Len vs Gobert

Ever since he has been inserted into the starting lineup, the suns are 10-2. His defensive presence in the post has been huge. Been positing some ridiculous rebounding and blocks numbers per minute wise. He is still under a minute restrictions, cant wait to see him play 30+ minutes a game.

His last game against Minny

Should be a riot. Ball ends up in the stands more than it's on the court.

Jazz 48

Suns 47

While Plumlee's minutes have been trending down - I don't think you'll see Len hover above a 20-25 mpg average. The Suns love their small ball lineups, and he's in foul trouble far too often.

By the way.. in that video you posted.. he had 3 clear as day assists.. but Yahoo! only credited him 2.. ugh.. they get stat lines wrong so often. I've been screwed on a couple of weeks where I observed games and my guys never received credit for certain stats. Silly scorekeepers!

Hopefully he never starts getting injured...
He has big talent but he´s that type of guy short/middle term injuries kill his game imo.

Now he just needs to cut down on the fouls.

Gobert and Len's combined Wingspan = 15 feet!!

Can't argue with facts. RUDY!

Gobert better not be thinking about shooting this one....Len will, I repeat, he WILL send that shot back to France 8-)

The kid is very impressive that's for sure.

His stats would look even better if he wasn't playing on such a ballhog team, too. Phx need to feed him the ball more.

Jeez, that's a nasty combo, you're lucky. Gobert was owned in my league back when he was like 4% owned (Yahoo 12 team)

Fortunately I grabbed Nurkic early and picked up Len last night.

NOT in Rudy's house!

Rudy is very flattered, but he does not want to hold hands. Rudy wants the ball.
