Alex Len, Anybody?

[Saints Fan in A]

Might he be the perfect low-post compliment to Anthony Davis?

[rebelman]

I'd rather have Alex Len and keep Davis @ PF

[BallSoHard]

He looks good, but needs to learn to use his left hand.

Still think Ryan Anderson is the perfect compliment to who Davis will be in 2-3 years. I would be shocked if he is still a PF when his body matures.

That said, if we move Lopez in a package that nets a SF, I will take Len and develop him into the same role, with a higher upside of course.

Go for a position of need like SF, Anthony Davis is the future at C for this team.

[Saints Fan in A]

I still feel like with his perimeter skills, PF is the spot that he could dominate for the next 10-15 years. How he matures will tell the story as we don't have anyone to compare him to, projection wise (he's unique), but I see Duncan when I see Davis, not a traditional center. Will be fun watching...that's for sure.

I can see Len averaging 17-20 ppg in this league from the center spot. Don't know much about his defense yet though.

[Zach Leto]

I just don't see him being that different from Meyers Leonard who is shaking out to be a bust. He has a better offensive game, but does he rebound well or move his feet well on defense?

[AD23forMVP]

Personally, I feel we have too many quality bigs already. If you have 96 minutes to divide up between your PF and C I feel in a few years Davis and Anderson will take up between 74-78 of those minutes. That leaves only 18-22 of those minutes to divide between Smith and Lopez.

Yea I think I would rather go after a SF like shabazz, poythress, or mcadoo

I'm not sure if you can ever have enough quality bigs, and personally I don't think we have them. I think Anderson is perfect coming off the bench to get minutes at the 3 and 4 spot (25-32 MPG). Start a Len (When/If he's ready) and Give him 30ish MPG (or Pekovic etc) and Davis 38ish.

C- Len 30 Lopez 10 Davis 8
PF Davis 30 Anderson 18
SF Someone yet to be named 30- Anderson 10ish- Someone to be named 8.

Really who knows, it could take Len 2 or 3 years to be ready to play starters minutes and by that time we could be ready to let Lopez go and some minutes open up. Just my thoughts.

I love how white people always get compared to white people just like black QBs always get compared to other black QBs

Meyers Leonard who is shaking out to be a bust.

Don't you think that's premature??? Everyone knew he would take time to develop. He's not getting a lot of minutes, but is shooting good FG and FT %'s.

[THRILLHOUSE]

C- Len 30 Lopez 10 Davis 8

Lopez deserves way more than 10 minutes per game playing time. He's 10th among centers in PER now, playing 27 minutes per game. Cutting that down to almost a third of his current minutes in favor of a rookie like Len would be a horrible decision.
