ANALYSIS: After sitting out on Sunday in Minnesota (DNP – CD), Alex Len saw 30 minutes of playing time against a young Bulls team shooting 6-of-10 for 13 points and snagging 18 rebounds. It was a great example of Len’s upside, however his minutes have been inconsistent. When given the opportunity, he has certainly been productive. He’s currently averaging 9.2 points and 9.7 rebounds on only 23.3 mpg!
Len has been a victim of a crowded front court in Phoenix with Greg Monroe coming over from Milwaukee and Tyson Chandler getting healthy. Given the stage of development the Suns are in, you have to figure Len will get more playing time. Unfortunately, the Suns are still expected to at least try to win games this early on in the season, so the veteran big men will continue to get minutes. If you can handle the ups and downs (and the occasional DNP – CD), Len is worth a flier in the hopes that Phoenix tries to trade away some pieces or shut them down altogether.
