I'm sorry, but that's such a silly thing to say.

Absolutely ridiculous. The idiots aren't paying attention.

Len = Unknown/underrated

I still think it's weird that no one outside of Phoenix even knows anything about him or is aware of what he is doing.
NBATV is aware.

You saw the TrueHoop thing on Len & Nurkic? They are paying attention.
Go Suns!

yes, and Thorpe of ESPN has him and the big kid in Denver on his radar, also.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I think most commentators and coaches are aware. It's also recognizing achievement and not potential and Adams and Dieng have been doing well for a little longer than Len has, despite the fact that Len's upside is probably higher. Their numbers also look better because they get more minutes.

It's hard to expect the coaches who probably don't give a shit about this to consider splits like "per-36 minutes as a starter."

RE Mirotic, I think he benefited from the lack of rookies on the team, the fact that he could be counted as a forward and the high profile team he plays for.

Len may still get in. I don't think Olynyk is playing.

I'm glad we didn't match his offer but last night he had pretty good reason for being bad. Apparently his grandfather passed away before the game.

Would you rather have Frye at 8mil or Kieff?

Kieff is good in a crowd. He really gets in there and intimidates. He also boxes out real well allowing his brother to finish off the play. :p

Oh and Kieff can hit a shot in the fourth quarter.

This season I would take Keef. At the end of the contract, I would probably take almost anyone over a mid-30s Frye at 8 million.

Kieff and it's a no brainer for me considering their age.

You took one for the team. There would have been plenty of support posts.
