Undecided: Tyson Chandler/Alex Len

It’s really tricky to know what to do with the Suns’ center situation. Neither Tyson Chandler, nor Alex Len were that valuable last year, but both had their moments. Per fantasypros.com, Chandler’s ADP last year was well below 100, but he ended up being pretty solid overall. He finished the season tied for 14th in the NBA with 31 double-doubles and was top five in the entire NBA in both total rebounds and rebounds per game.

My guess would be Chandler is taken somewhere in the 17-23 range of NBA centers (not overall), while Len is either a super late pick or goes undrafted, and I think for both guys that’s pretty fair. I think Len in particular will be interesting to judge moving forward, but I don’t think this is really the year to go crazy with either guy, especially considering Len’s injury problems.

For that reason, I’m not too high or low on their stock. Again, I’m comparing these guys to what their value is, and I think in both cases they’re valued pretty reasonably, at least for now.
