Alex Len - #5 pick
- Thread starter Mike-D
- Start date
Still can't beat Bennet at #1, one of the biggest busts of all time considering he was the first overall pick.
From what I've heard they're pretty content with him. I haven't watched the summer games but I doubt that changes anything.
Thomas Robinson going where he did was a bit of a joke as well in the 2012 draft. He has been on 5 teams already. To be fair though, he has not got much of a chance to play...and does rebound pretty well for his minutes over his career. I would assume due to bad D? (Sorry guys, do not follow every team/player on here in the NBA, but I know someone on here will know more info).
I think he finished with 9 pts and 13 rebounds last night. Of course, 4 of those points came in garbage minutes at the of the game. For whatever reason, Phoenix played him almost the entire game, and sat Jorts. The kid doesn't do anything well. I don't know how many rebounds I saw him mistime on his jump and completely miss. Len just seems to be slow and take up space. It's just hard to fathom how he was a #5 draft pick, but I said that when he first got drafted. Last night was just more verification.
Yeah that was a typical Knicks type pick. He is bad, but there are guys from that draft who are even worse. That draft was awful.
Not sure they are that content with him since they just signed Tyson Chandler.
Len biggest problem seems to be health
There are some guys that play better in collage than they do in the NBA. Len may be one of these.
He does a good job of blocking shots and when he doesn't block shots, he affects them.
Yep. Can't stay healthy.
Alex Len will be a solid big in the NBA. A guy who could give you double double potential with decent defense. Worth a #5 pick? Not typically. Worth a #5 in that draft? Possibly. I mean, it's hard to so without a shadow of a doubt that Nerlens Noel will be a far superior player. Plus, Noel dropped due to his injury and overall, that was the worst lottery of any draft in recent memory.
It's not like Cody Zeller or Otto Porter has torn it up, and Anthony Bennett at #1?

Lamarcus Aldridge is friends with him and of course Tyson is still better. That doesn't mean they regret the pick.
