I love Len as a 3rd big. But his minutes are the most obvious place to upgrade. Wish we could have seen Orlando Robinson’s potential during the preseason.

Speaking of more fun with small sample sizes:

Len On: 22 minutes
ORtg: 106.1
DRtg: 129.4
Net: -23.3

Len Off: 122 minutes
ORtg: 119
DRtg: 110.4
Net: +8.7

Total net: -32.0

Unfortunately, we can't just fully write this off to the incredibly small sample, because these numbers really do match the eye test where basically every Len stint this season has been a disaster.

How many of those mins have been WITH Sabonis on the floor?

He's the sub for Domas, he wouldn't share the floor with him. Not really sure why we would do that anyway. But just checked NBA.com, they don't have any recorded minutes together

The best thing is that Huerter isn’t just launching 3’s and has been finding other ways to score, including a nice mid range j or two.

Let's change that, we are to dang small.

What’s with the recent pushing and pulling that Len has been called for multiple times already? He keeps doing that and I don’t remember him getting called for that so often before. Just last night he blatantly pushed a player out of the way for DeRozan. I get this stuff happens but you can’t be that obvious.

I love Len as a 3rd big...

The problem is, when he was the 3rd big, everybody kept wanting him to get the 2nd big's minutes.

Some players are best utilized in "micro doses" (like when Mario West was a "last defensive possession of the quarter" specialist), and Len might be one of those players.

He had 2 reach around fouls in the early second, hunting for a steal... it's like, why? Clingan is not a threat out there and frankly, Len is the last guy on the team who probably can make that kind of a play. Was a huge reason why POR got into the bonus with like 9 minutes left in the quarter.

Like it or not, Domas is our 5. And he's been pretty dang good at it too. The answer is not to attach another big to him and force him to play on the perimeter. That's already been tried with a Myles Turner that had fairly mixed results and it's only like him and Brook Lopez that would really make sense as natural fits with Domas.

Go hunting for big wings, absolutely. Another big? No no no

Closing this thread since there's another game tonight and I just created a new game thread for it.
