i notice No one can drive passed Bender when he guards the perimeter. I think he is better guarding the three than guarding in the paint.

I feel like Len's biggest problem (besides generally having bad instincts) is his arms, not just his hands, but his whole arm. He does not move them quickly, a Kings pass was just thrown basically through him, he saw it coming, read it, flailed his arms at it and got nothing but air. You see the same thing when he is playing defense, just lazy fouls that do little to alter shots because he didn't get his hands up in time.

Besides all this, players are not afraid to go inside on Len which is not a good sign.

Len... oh Len... if only you were born 20 years earlier. You could have been a quality player in the 90s NBA where possessions were a slow slow grind and zone defenses were illegal. Instead.... ya kinda stink.

I'd take him back for a contract along the lines his play has demanded... something like 2 years 16 million, but if some team out there is stupid enough to throw him 40... 50... 60 mil, then best of luck.

If some team throws that kind of money at him it's out of pure desperation. I can see Brooklyn being that needy.

Yeah...I really want Len to develop into something, but I think at this point it's more wishful thinking than anything. I think anyone who gives him a huge contract will start regretting it almost immediately.

Love it - slow arms.

Kind of like Dudley's most athletic hands in the NBA, only legit.

Williams may take Len's money. Still I believe Williams is a backup center.

Tj is developing onto a very good player. He's very efficient.

I'd be shocked if the Suns do not keep him. Too many good things going on with him.

He knows how to play...He hussles...And the suns play well when he's in the game.

And btw... Williams puts up good stats!
