Len's emergence raises questions over contract extension: http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2016/ ... -extension (Has he really emerged though? He's playing better, at least.)

Point guard scores 30, off-guard has 11 assists & no turnovers: http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /81741106/

Oof, I could see this team winning 2 or 3 of these games. C'mon, Suns, don't get all good on me now!

[Cap]

The OGW curse will strike by keeping us relatively healthy for the rest of the season.

Suns ponder look of 3 scoring point guards: http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /81795410/

Please, no.

[Hermen]

I like how Watson says Len can give you 30 anytime.

[In2ition]

Yes!!! Why not go with 4, 5, or 6 pgs? 6 pgs at a time, I don't think anyone has EVER done that. Revolutionary.

This article suggests Booker will be a 20ppg scorer within 3 years.

[Cap]

He's averaging 23.6 in eight games in March.

Yup. But no one is thinking he'd be doing that with Bledsoe, Knight & Warren all healthy. Are they?

The only way that happens is if Watson is kept and they are hell bent on Len being the 1st option.

I think that was Booker not Len.

Reading is hard.

If Len can consistently play 30 mpg, I would be ecstatic. I have always liked his effort but felt that the frequent injuries have really stunted his ability to play. I've been actually kinda pleased to see him play with those massive bandages on his hands. At least he's getting experience out there.

[Ring_Wanted]

Len is showing progress as a face to the basket big man, and that's really encouraging. He is not a finished product by any means, but there was danger of Len not ever finding a place on offense. The %s are not pretty but it's a start. It's also nice to see a twin towers rotation being implemented and holding its own.

[pickle]

Yep, and Chandler seems to be more effective in this rotation too. Of course it helps that we aren't trying to win games so we are less worried about their fours roaming to the 3 point line and launching.

The one game I did get to see, the Golden State one, Len was defending the opposing center and Chandler chased Green. Is that the norm these days? Does that mean that Len has less lateral quickness than a 33 year old Chandler?

It is a good question. Vs. the Knicks he was on Lopez while Chandler was on Zinger.

Firm grasp of the obvious. He is that now. The only thing that will keep him from it is minutes( and knuckly headed pg's dominating the ball).
