Alex Len "I'd Love To Play With Kemba Walker"

“I’m 7-1 or 7-2 (in sneakers). I’m pretty agile. And I can step out and shoot, which makes me different from other (big) guys.’’

 

Then Len, who’s from the Ukraine, noted how often he’s compared to Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the Cleveland Cavaliers center who played in the NBA from 1997 through 2011.

 

Len, a gymnast in his youth (he did it because he likes Jackie Chan movies), started playing basketball at the relatively late age of 13. He averaged 11.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks as a Maryland sophomore before turning pro.

 

Len says his skill set will likely fit better in the NBA than it did in college basketball. As he noted, the spacing is better in the pros, so it’s harder to constantly double-team the center.

 

Asked how he’d feel about playing for the Bobcats, Len was effusive about one thing: “I would love to play with Kemba’’ Walker.

 

The Bobcats hold their first pre-draft workouts Wednesday at Time Warner Cable Arena. Look for Indiana big man Cody Zeller, younger brother of former North Carolina center Tyler, to be among the participants.

You're an idiot lol

 

If he's not supposed to be a lottery pick then why is Cleveland considering taking him with the first pick?

 

1) It was an exaggeration. I know he's a lottery pick but I wouldn't take him above 7.

2) Chill out with the personal attacks.

3) How do you know Cleveland is considering him with the first pick? It's called a rumor for a reason. For all you know, Cleveland could be using that as a smokescreen or Len's guys could have started it to increase his draft stock.

How do you know that Cleveland isn't considering him? Do you see how poor that argument is, it goes both ways.

 

And every rumor tends to have a little truth to it.

      I honestly don’t think he ever will change.  He couldn’t punch his way out of this wet paper bag he created with scissors in his hands.  I think back to the early takes on Jimmy Haslem, the Browns owner.  For that first few years, he couldn’t get out of his own way.  Same poo.  The fans were miserable and were worried he was exactly who David Tepper is now…  and then Haslem took a step back.  He hired football guys and let them make the decisions.  And something clicked…  now, they’ve done some really dumbass stuff since, but they started drafting some gems, developing them, and even went to the playoffs a few years.  Led by Baker, they came damn close for beating the Chiefs in the playoffs.  But I could never see Tepper doing any of that.  He is so damn egotistical and stubborn.  Haslem wasn’t pulling up to restaurants and demanding people change critical signs of him.  Haslem wasn’t throwing drinks on the poors heckling him.  Haslem wasn’t getting in broadcasts with his poo eating grin and calling fans basement dwellers.  He was willing to take a step back and learn.  At minimum, Tepper should’ve been at that stage two or three years in.  And then he forces the Bryce pick.  And then he makes us see it through for a minimum of three years.  It’s clear he still thinks he knows more than anyone else…  and for that reason, this will not turn around under Tepper.  Our only hope is he sells, and he won’t.  He would move the team before he had to sell it just to stick it to this fanbase for telling him about himself.  He’s a fuging douche.  And sadly, because all of the decisions have been and will be so bad from too top to bottom, we won’t ever even accidentally back into the playoffs because we will never have the talent or coaching.  It is fuging groundhogs day for misery as a Panthers fan.

      We’ve been having a bad day since 2018.  It’s time to bring the paper bags out.
