While he has only started twice thus far in 2017-18, Tyson Chandler will still get rest on the second half of back-to-backs, and should Chandler suffer from any injury that requires a few games off, Len will be the starter in waiting. This knowledge will freak some Suns fans out – those of you who have yet to jump on the Len Leerjet, it’s about to take off, baby! – but for those of us who are still intrigued about the possibilities of extending Len for the longterm, those extra starts (that in my opinion he should have been getting more of all along) will help him build a better argument for either re-signing, or for additional teams to seek out his services.
