    His offense is really good but what it doesn't show how well his defense is that might be the problem that he not a NBA player.

    Haven't watched him this year, but last year in his dleague appearances he showed well as a help defender, and that was one of his biggest strengths coming into the league. Not sure about his man defense, but how much worse can it be than Leonards

    If we sign him, how many games before Leonard becomes (yet again) the back up ?

    Nobody except this board considers Alexander to be a top D-League "get." I already cited an article which continuously rates the top 10 desirable D-Leaguers, and he's never on it. He already failed here once. Why not give someone else a shot.

    Actually, why not raise your "Golden Future" Blazer-centric world view to players who are better than D-Leaguers. ("We're so cool because we have the league's youngest=dumbest team!")

    He didn't fail here. He was stuck behind a logjam of big men. He didn't really get a chance.
