I dont know how he does that... but he has some interesting numbers:
5.1 BLK%
48.8% defending the rim
23.8 TRB%
105 DRtg with him in the floor (112 as a team)
positive DBPM and RPM in defense
2 steals per100 (same as Bledsoe and Chriss, only Ulis has a higher rate)
Wow, thats pretty good...

Yes the defensive numbers are interesting. He has the best DRtg on the team. It must have to do with his long arms and basketball smarts. Len sucked as reserve all season long and really isn't doing that well as a starter.
Just comparing the two per 36 min or 100 possessions Williams dominates Len across the board other than FT% ... https://tinyurl.com/j9guq83 and remember most of Len's minutes have been in a reserve role so the comparison holds up even better.
and this begs the question ... who to pay Len or Williams. I think I would rather see a Chandler/Williams rotation instead of a Chandler/Len rotation.

Williams has played his way into next year's rotation. If the stories are true about Tyson (that we had an offer from a contender) then we have the choice of starting Len, Chandler, or someone else entirely next season... After giving the idea its due consideration, I have concluded that bw's notion of keeping all three is untenable. As the forum's Front Row Fan, I move to table that idea.

Williams substitutes Chandler rebounding fairly well and provides value in the offensive end, while Len is a better rim protector than Chandler. We could use Len/Williams in more different scenarios within a game that any of the other combos.
That’s the thing about my mom. She worked full time serving the community as a police officer (she was appointed the police chief of the Phoenix Police Department in 2016). She’s an incredible cook – you have to try her homemade tacos one day. And she has unquestionably been the biggest force into making me the man that I am today and helping me live my dreams.
When I got the call to join the Phoenix Suns, my mom was my first call – and her reaction was overwhelming. She cried. She screamed. It was awesome, to be able to share that moment with her was one that I’ll never be able to forget. I had had a workout earlier that week that I thought went super poorly. I called her on the phone and was just distraught because I thought I blew it. But she told me to just calm down. And lo and behold, the Suns called and told me they were interested and I called her back to tell her the news. She told me I deserved it and to take advantage of the opportunity. And most importantly, she told me to enjoy it.
You’ll know it’s my mom if you ever see her at one of my games. She’s the loudest to cheer me on. My dad is big on making shirts so her closet is full of them: From my high school days, my college days, shirts for all of my brothers. They’re organized perfectly in her closet, by color and by team. She has all of them. When I made it to the NBA, there were more shirts. I can’t always hear her now, because NBA arenas are a little louder. But I glance and know exactly where she’s sitting and that she’s up there.

Maybe a tiny bit overpriced, but not when you look at Mahinmi making $17m etc!
Every team needs a cheerleader, it's even better to have one who can give you a double double 2-3 times a week in less than half a game. Much like Tucker, you know he doesn't leave anything in the tank and his motor and effort can't be questioned.
