Has the light turned on for Len?

[Dan H]

9p, 9r, 18.10 PER.

I haven't been able to watch many games but it seems like he's been putting up consistently good numbers.

Good days are getting closer together. His team defense is still really lacking.

You can see he is consistently getting 20-25 minutes per game. He is getting a chance to show his stuff and against the second unit, so his numbers should be even better. But his production is very inconsistent.

Len is a dead man walking. Not locked in after this season. We might as well call him Casper.

Ask me in 3 months.

But early on has been pretty promising. I kind of get the feeling that the Suns will let him walk and he'll turn into a 12/12 28-30 minute guy somewhere else.

He's been a lot better and generally seems to play within himself a lot more. I don't recall him taking any 15 foot jumpshots this year. His path to success on this team is Chandler 2.0; defense, rebounding, tips/putbacks, strong screens/hard dives and being available for drop off passes. If he can do that he'll earn a 12+ mil contract.

San Antonio. You just know it.

Being the tallest guy on he floor he's bound to get some rebounds and maybe block a shot or two but he is totally offensively inept for being a big man. Plus more times than not he's out of position on the floor to defend the rim. Im with Poker, he's gone at seasons end.

I sort of feel this way as well.

Len should be a consistent double double center as you suggest. He will want to be a starting center somewhere. Maybe some team will give him the commitment.

Given the minutes I think he can be productive especially for an Eastern Conference team. Len is still only 24 and he started late so I think he can get better. However, I'm not sure the Suns are willing to commit enough money to keep him.

I'd like to keep him for the right price but I doubt that's going to happen.
