“I think Alex Len has potential to be an excellent center,” Watson said. “I
think with Tyson (Chandler) and Alex Len and the way the NBA is going, it’s
very difficult to find minutes with two seven-footers, two traditional centers
.”
“Alex Len can still develop, can still get better,” Watson added. “I though
t he had a solid first half (in New Orleans); he was big blocking shots. His t
ime is going to come. The season, as long as you navigate it, opportunities st
art to develop.”
Trade talk among Suns fans often involves Len’s name. Watson addressed that a
s well.
“As a coaching staff and as a head coach I haven’t won enough games to dicta
te any trade, to have any voice on trades or roster moves,” Watson said. “So
with me, the only thing I can do is focus on getting the guys as many minutes
as possible to develop in situations.”
“Do we want to play Alex Len more? We would love to.”
Alex Len will get his next opportunity Wednesday when the Suns meet therizzl
ies湶n Memphis.
“我们认为Len有机会可以成为出色的中锋，但考虑到Tyson Chandler跟Len，以及NBA的
比赛风格，我们很难为2位7呎且风格比较偏向传统的中锋提供足够的上场时间”
“Len仍然可以持续进步，仍然可以变的更出色，我认为他在面对鹈鹕上半场的比赛有着
强硬的表现，他能够阻攻对手，他将会得到他应得到的上场时间，随着赛季的进行，他会
逐渐得到机会。”
另外是谈到关于Len交易的部分，有鉴于他在这个暑假续约的价码不便宜，也有部分人士
认为Len可以作为交易筹码，而Watson也给出了明确的回答。
“作为一个总教练，我还没有赢下足够的比赛，所以我没有办法要求任何交易，在阵容或
交易上也没有决定权，所以对我来说我能做的就是给予球员更多上场时间以及栽培他们。
”
“我们希望让Len有更多上场时间吗?我们当然乐意这么做。”
Len预计会在下一场面对灰熊的比赛得到更多上场时间。
心得:这赛季也是Len的合约年了，希望他有办法证明自己啊
