I don't usually make multiple threads, but I figured for a guy of Len's caliber; what the hell.

So I switched games and turned to the Maryland vs. Northwestern game, and I have seen enough. Alex Len is my pick lol, I am endorsing Alex Len as our guy. He is an incredible basketball player.

For those that don't know about Len, he is a 7'1", 240 pound, sophomore at Maryland. He has an NBA body, but is semi-raw. However, he is super athletic and has an incredible post game which makes up for being a little raw.

Below is Len's stat line for the upcoming season with a little highlight footage along the way.

Alex Len Stats (2012-2013 Season)

vs. Kentucky: 23 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks (32 minutes)

vs. Morehead State: 11 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists (24 minutes)

vs. LIU Brooklyn: 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks (32 minutes)

vs. Lafayette: 16 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, 1 assist (28 minutes)

vs. Georgia Southern: 10 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block (17 minutes)

vs. Northwestern: 13 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 assist (24 minutes)

vs. George Mason: 12 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks (30 minutes)

vs. Maryland-Eastern Shore: 9 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks (17 minutes)

vs. South Carolina State: 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block (28 minutes)

vs. Monmouth: 14 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks (24 minutes)

vs. Stony Brook: 19 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block (28 minutes)

I guess I wouldnt mind him.

-McAdoo looks like $hit.

-Not sure if Zeller can impact the next level.

-Noel has little offensive game

-Shabazz still need to prove everyone that he's a legit scorer.

This draft which looked promising a few months ago is starting to look mediocrity.

Shabazz may be the consensus no.1 pick at the end of the day.

Id love to have Len in a Charlotte jersey.

I have watched games or footage of all the top centers and power forwards in the draft, and Len; without a shadow of a doubt has the best post game. He's much stronger than he looks and has a patented spin move that he performs flawlessly (see the video above) and he uses the drop step to perfection. He also has a wingspan measuring 7'5" which allows him to get his shot up over anyone and everyone (remember, this is a 7'1" athlete we are talking about). Len also runs the floor fairly well (similar to Tyler Zeller) and in my opinion is the second best shot blocker and rebounder in the class to only Jeff Withey (who is known solely for his defense and rebounding).

Another great aspect of Len's game is that he has a solid mid range jumper and he has shown the capability of shooting the three ball even though he rarely does pull the trigger unless he is wide open.

I've really been impressed with what I've seen from this kid so far.

His wingspan is an inch shorter than Bismack?

I like him and I wouldn't mind him at all.

How is his game different from Mullens? Is his defense and rebounding better than Mullens? The first clip above showed his ability to shoot the ba similar to Mullens. I'm just afraid he might be another Mullens. Excuse my stupidity. I just know little about Len.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
