The former 5th overall pick recently accepted a qualifying offer to stay with the Suns for the upcoming season.

So far his tenure in Phoenix has left much to be desired. While showing signs of promise, Len has also been disappointing and has not played up to the expected standard of a high lottery pick. Injuries of course are a factor as to why he’s in this current rating position, and this upcoming season will make or break his future with the team.

Naturally, the 2K team took notice of his lack of improvement over the past few years and bumped him down a notch. His totals in points and rebounds per game were down last season as opposed to the 2015-16 campaign. There is also a chance that he can be lost in the pecking order in terms of rotation minutes.

This 73 rating might’ve been a bit generous.

Too High
