Alex Len candidly claims he 'probably' won't re-sign with Suns
Five seasons with the Phoenix Suns were more than enough for 2013 fifth overall pick Alex Len.
The Ukranian 7-footer told Scott Bordow of AZ Central that he "probably" won't re-sign with the Suns when he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer.
“I’m looking forward to this offseason,” Len said. “I think it’s going to be exciting. It’s the first time I’m actually going to have a chance to go where I want to go.”
Len criticized Suns coach Jay Triano for not letting him shoot, and blasted the Suns for shuffling through three coaches over the last two seasons.
“The last few years we’ve had three different coaches, the roster was changing every year. There was never really any consistency,” Len said. “It was like starting over every year. Yeah, stability and consistency will be something I definitely look for.”
Phoenix drafted Len in 2013, but hardly played him in his rookie campaign, then buried him in the depth chart behind the likes of Miles Plumlee and Tyson Chandler. Len failed to develop, and saw his minutes steadily drop over the last few seasons.
This year, Len is averaging 8.2 points and 7.4 rebounds while shooting 56.3 percent from the field.
