NBA 2018-19: 10 centres who are viable 3-point shooters

#10 Alex Len

Atlanta Hawks Media Day

While John Henson at least looked and played like an NBA player, I had serious doubts about whether Alex Len would find a team willing to bet on him as the Suns declined to re-sign him from the unrestricted free agency this summer. The Hawks, short-staffed at basically every single position, were in perfect position to do that, and have succeeded in reigniting the former #5 pick in the 2013 NBA draft.

I'd never seen it or thought it possible, but Len is now a seriously capable shooter from the perimeter. In the Hawks' defeat to the Lakers at the Staples Center tonight, Len flashed his smooth shooting stroke, knocking down long 2s and even a 3-pointer on 4 attempts from downtown. Len is averaging only 29.6% on a small sample space thus far, but the eye test reveals a surprisingly textbook shooting form and the potential to be developed into a potent offensive weapon for the big man.
