Former Terps teammates Dez Wells and Alex Len will meet in NBA Summer league game Saturday

Len surprised many when he chose to compete in the summer. Typically summer league is used as a way for unsigned players to show they're ready to play on an NBA roster, or for rookies to start adjusting between the speed of college and professional games.

The 7-foot-1 former no. 5 overall pick is neither, coming off of a solid sophomore season, and there's no doubt the Suns will pick up his team option for the following season.
