Despite repeated attempts to find an upgrade at the backup center position, Alex Len has repeatedly ended up being the backup center that the Kings can rely on. Len appeared in 48 games last season, and averaged 2.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 0.7 blocks in 9.3 minutes per game. While the numbers don&#8217;t jump off the page, Len had the best net rating on the Kings of any player who played regular minutes, finishing with a net rating of 15.4.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d still expect the Kings to seek additional big man depth in free agency to replace JaVale McGee. The Kings could bring McGee back, but I&#8217;d be surprised. But regardless of who else the Kings may sign, it&#8217;s nice to know the Kings are maintaining a reliable backup for Domantas Sabonis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Len is re-signing with the Sacramento Kings for another year, according to a report from The Athletic\u2019s Shams Charania.
