Alex Len Discussion: Welcome The Big Ukranian

If we wanted to go the large washed human route who should not be playing more then 10 minutes in any game but we have them only for 7-8 matchups that they might not be entirely useless for, then I would've rather gone with McGee. Birth certificate says he's older, I'm not sold in that data watching Len on the floor. McGee at least has ties to the organization, elite cheerleader, good mentor (has worked with Koloko), and has played with Luka before. Last time he saw the floor, he was better than Len in a similar role.

 

Len was fine
JJ insisted on playing small ball even though it was killing the team

 

Honestly, what was Rob’s rationale for bringing this guy in?

 

Having a big body in case we are being outplayed physically. Or Sabonis, Adams, Nurkic, AD or wtv is just murdering us inside. He was the best available of this type and we have literally no one with his frame in the roster.

Or what karacha said

 

I didn't miss him

 

No one missed him just like when he plays on other teams lol

 

the struggle is real

 

It’s obvious this team plays better when there is a big man on the floor.Any big man.
Doesn’t matter if he is a G leaguer or a 12th man a big should be on the floor for 40 minutes of game play

 

You know who's also better than Len. The new starting C for the Spurs

 

lol, i was going to post about that. SA's running a weird lineup man. super small with wemby out, like way smaller than us even post-AD.

 

Will see tomorrow what Koloko,Hayes and Trey can do vs Jokic if Len isn't playing

 

Lol..scraping the bottom of the barrel. I still can't get the sight of Bismarck, getting used and abused, by Zubac and Jokic in the playoffs in Phoenix ,outta my head. He was absolutely useless. I'll still take Hayes over Biyombo.

 

Is Len hurt or something? He has 6 fouls to burn. Using them wisely can be somewhat effective..possibly.

 

No.He just didn't scored vs Charlotte

 

I'm not expecting any of them to do anything to stop Jokic, but at least make him waste as much energy as you can. I think Len is the one better equipped for that. Jemison is bulky but not sure he has the frame and defensive skill/experience for this job. He's short too.
Wondering if we could put Luka on him. Have Dallas done it?


It's really tiring to defend the post, especially if you're the less strong. But would make a good workout for Luka

 

Terrible idea. I don't think Luka could keep Jokic in front of him right now. Lol.

You don't stop great players, the best you can do, is try to take them out of their comfort zone. I'd swarm Jokic and make him give up the ball. I'd also try to get him in a P&R and attack him on offense. A Jokic stopper doesn't exist, the best you can do, is to make him work on both ends, and live with the results.

 

I personally think we should cut Len. He's pretty terrible and should not be on an NBA roster...
