Real Madrid sign Alex Len to multi-year deal
Len brings veteran NBA experience
Real Madrid have agreed a multi-year contract with Ukrainian center Alex Len, a move that adds an experienced big man to the roster. Len was the fifth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and has spent many seasons in the NBA, appearing in roughly 690 games and averaging about 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest. Standing 2.13 meters tall, he brings size and seasoning to Madrid’s frontcourt.
How he fits with Real Madrid
The signing addresses Madrid’s need for a reliable presence in the paint after Bruno Fernando’s departure. Len is expected to complement reigning anchor Edy Tavares, helping the team with interior defense, rim protection and occasional scoring. While his NBA career began with high expectations, this move gives Len a fresh chance to make an impact in European competition and re-establish himself on a big stage.
Fans should expect a seasoned role player who can provide stability in the center rotation and offer match-up flexibility for the coaching staff. With his experience and size, Len could be an important piece for Real Madrid as they chase success domestically and in continental play.
