Let me get this out of the way right at the start, I am a University of Maryland alum and have a bit of a soft spot for other former Terps. My evaluation of Alex Len’s 2020-2021 season might be more positive than some of you are expecting but it’s not (solely) because I’m a homer.
I tend to evaluate someone’s contributions based on their salary. Len may not be a huge needle mover overall, but when you consider his production against the $1.7 million the Wizards paid him, I would say he provided strong value. In a perfect world, Len would be your third center on a veteran’s minimum contract and I think that role suits him perfectly.
