Don’t let this video fool you; Alex Len is nearly the same player he was in Phoenix except he has added something of a three-ball. Like his bro Trae Young, he is only capable of having good games if the opposing team has Tristan Thompson on it. Suns fans, don’t worry too much about getting rid of him. Rest easy with the knowledge that he’s not going to blossom into anything more than he was while you had to watch him.
Some people might be tempted to call this guy a bust (I probably have a few times, too lazy to check), and maybe he is for the fifth pick, but he looks better after the Suns’ draft-day disaster of Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss. At least this guy can start games and sometimes be productive.
Notice that while I may have criticized him harshly for his play on the court, I have never made fun of his previous calling, which was being a gymnast. Those dudes are strong as heck, and they get to hang out with hot chicks in tight leotards ALL THE TIME. Sounds like a way better gig than the NBA, where you just have to sit and ferment in a locker room with sweaty dudes who sometimes don’t believe in deodorant.
