With Tyson Chandler silently being really disappointing this season for the Suns and now getting injured because he skipped leg day, someone needed to step up and fill the gaping defensive hole left in his wake. We all know which guy it was who stepped up: Jon Leuer! Jon Leuer has been excellent, thrust into…

Alex Len 16 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2015)
Did something happen to Alex Len while I wasn’t paying attention? One minute he’s busting out for the Suns, finally living up to his draft slot, and the next he’s barely playing while sucking in the ones he does manage to get. It could be a matter of expectations. I was SO READY for Len…

Alex Len is from Ukraine, but you couldn’t tell if all you were given was a name. When I think Ukraine, I think unpronounceable messes of consonants. “Alex Len” just sounds like a plain old normal-person name. Nothing at all like Vyacheslav Kravtsov (who really should still be in the league, I loved that guy)….

What’s that thing that everyone’s always talking about with Alex Len? Starts with a c… composure? Nah, that’s not it. C-something. He needs more of it, whatever it is. Capabilities? That sounds like something any NBA player could use. More capabilities. But that’s not it either. Anyway, maybe he doesn’t need it as much now…

One of the problems with the Phoenix Suns this year is their funky center rotation. Miles Plumlee is not the answer. He might have looked the part a little bit last year, but he’s not. Bill Walton is, similarly, not the answer, though since he’s not on the roster or otherwise affiliated with the team…

This must be the version of Alex Len the Suns thought they were getting when they drafted him with the 5th pick. Or maybe they thought they were getting the version of him that shoots nothing but threes. I hope not, otherwise they’re going to be sorely disappointed. I’m enjoying this dunking version of him….

Alex Len is struggling to extricate himself from the bust shirt he is currently wearing, the one provided to him by angry internet commentators. It’s one of those shirts that’s way too tight and thus impossible to get off without destroying it. And destroy it he must not, as there is no guarantee that he…

Doing highlights of a player I’ve never done before is a rush. It’s like the feeling you got when you were a kid when you opened up the Pokemon booster pack and got a holographic Zapdos (never a Charizard, god damn it). And I’ve been waiting a long time to “collect” Alex Len, so to…
