Man Bled and Dragic have been so off tonight and we're about to knock of the Spurs. Isn't this the EXACT reason we brought in Thomas and drafted Len? games like tonight?

Is that short for Sabonis? Did you know he has a kid that is 6' 10'' and a freshman for Gonzaga? Been playing ACB for 2 years already.
Go Suns!

I always liked the pick. I've watched every minute of Alex Len in a Suns jersey. Some of those minutes 5 or more times. I love him, but I can't say I've always maintained faith in him.

Big guys take a while.

A lot of us wrote off Robin Lopez and he developed into a productive player. They just aren't a finished product until they've got some experience.

Man, I knew Len had skills and it was only a matter of time before they surfaced, but holy fuck - I never knew he had THAT in him! That was a straight-up Larry Bird dish to Markieff down in no-man's land after a fucking drive.

10/11 for Len in 32 quality minutes.....

Outstanding 3pt defense, unlike the rest of the quarter.

I haven't had this much hope for a team since the day before I heard something about a microfracture surgery.

I didn't even know what that was. It was announced literally the day after he signed the big contract?

Beautiful way for the game to win, with a 5 second violation.

Bledsoe with the exclamation point!

Len may be the best young big we've had since Amare.

Great, gritty win from the Suns. To beat the Spurs with so many players off is just outstanding
