Quick and beat me! Woohoo ?

This guy has almost no offensive skill!  Truly an emergency player.  Can't believe he was a drafted player let alone the 5th pick in the draft.

[JayBirdHawk]

You wanted a big, we got a big.

I was just having a convo with Brad about players we should sign and this happens. Doesn't help that my suggestion was to bring back Bebe who you could describe with the same sentence lol.

Bebe probably is better than Len!

You know I just finished the current cap situation thread, hit send and 30 seconds later this popped up.

This proves Okafor was not one of our coaches favorite sons or he has overvalued himself. I am glad we got Len. He is far from perfect but he works hard on the boards. Either one I am good with; so I am good with Len.

That seems to be the case and probably would serve as a warning to other teams as well.

he can rebound and blocks shots, but not much else.

7.5 rebs in 20 mpg last year.

 

[GameTime]

Much rather him take Plumlee's minutes.

[MaceCase]

Analytics like him, one of the few bright spots in Phoenix last season.

Fine with a defensive big especially on this team. Needed someone in front of Plumlee

1.0 VORP last year.  He's been a walking injury during his career.

OK, he is fighting for backup minutes with these random highlights. Good deal for us.

He had his best season last year even though he was thrown into a three man rotation mess with Chandler, himself, and Monroe; who Phoenix got in a trade and were trying to highlight to try and trade themselves.

[thecampster]

Len > Moose which is making the Dennis trade look even better now.

Whats odd is Len has range but only attempted 3 three pointers last year (making 1).
