Alex Len Discussion: Welcome The Big Ukranian

Not bad he's beefy and he can absorb 6 fouls on jock itch if needed

 

Yeah I'm not a fan of the move....and if he takes minutes away from small ball (Vando/DFS/Bron) I think that's a negative for us

Len has not been good for a few years now...and we waived Christian Wood when I would have liked to have waived Reddish or Milton instead.

Oh well...slim pickings right now for bigs...

 

Meh. Would’ve rather offered it to Jemison.

 

hard to believe this guy was the 5th OA pick once upon a time

 

In the past I would have been concerned about how the minutes were distributed but I pretty confident in what JJ is doing. He seems to be nailing it pretty well so far.

 

Over his last 5 seasons he has +1.5 DBPM over an average of 11 minutes a game

 

Maybe they know that Wood will not play this year and we don't see him as a long term option for this team. Len is likely only a one year rental but perhaps we will keep him a little longer as a big bodied backup. If we can actually get a good center in the offseason, then have Hayes as the backup who gets real minutes, with Len as a situational backup we use for the body and fouls. We don't really need Wood and I doubt anyone is going to pick him up this year, knowing he won't play.

 

Serviceable.
I don’t know how much he’ll help since I haven’t seen him on the floor in a long while, but he fills the need for a big body. I’m sure he will contribute more than our collection of Misfit Toy Castoffs.

 

I can already envision Wood in a Shanghai Sally Uni.

 

I think it’s funny we’re calling him beefy when he’s basically AD’s size, but whatevs, he’s big enough and has a lot of experience without being decrepit.

 

Someone just made up this montage today? Says couple hours ago. There's a lot of footage but first he puts up a freeze frame of Len with copy below on the deal for like 45 seconds be advised. You could click past that when you want. Have only watched about 3 minutes and I'm guessing some or a lot of the footage he was younger? An yeah I was expecting a big husky guy and he's AD's size unless he's bigger now. Someone here said he was strong at least. Does he have any toughness to him or is he a girlyman?

 

Hes good for when we play teams that have actual big centers. Hayes gonna keep starting. But possibly now he will be the backup. So be happy.

 

Laskavo prosimo
Which is in Ukrainian language means Welcome . He's going surprise a lot of people who think he's worse than Sacre .If he wasn't injured he will be more than just for 6 fouls

 

Didn't know that he was fifth pick.And in college he was defensive specialist.Yea NBA is different now thanks to GSW and their f***ing small ball

 

We aren’t going to find a more long term solution to our center problem until this summer. We’ll have Maxi, Gabe, and Rui’s expiring contract; plus picks and pick swaps. The problem is 2 of 3 players are good rotation pieces and trading away both of them screws up our depth.

 

A number of peeps on LG are also saying he's strong (and) he's a tough Ukrainian. This clip below showing him knocking Nick Young out of the air ought to kill anyone's idea ever that tanking can be the way again. Look at some of who we had on our team then.

 

Another guy, and hopefully Luka too that maybe looks at LeBron and gets inspired to be his best physical self. Couple years ago a couple clips of him defending Jokic. So I like that we have another big guy that has a tough edge to him.

 

Suck it Pacers!

 

Will Pacers run to Silver crying bout tampering again?

 

Why not waive them all? Milton sucks, saw more from goodwin in 1gm than what we saw from milton since hes been here and Cam will be out league soon anyways
