Every day, ArizonaSports.com asks readers a question. It’s the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.

Earlier this week, we asked whether or not Phoenix Suns center Alex Len was starting to show why he was worth a No. 5 overall pick.

A total of 535 votes were submitted, and 60 percent of voters believe Len has not quite reached the level of a top 5 pick, but he is getting there.

Nearly a third believe Len is definitely starting to show why he was taken fifth overall in the 2013 NBA Draft.

Twelve percent of voters do not believe the 7-foot-1 center is living up to expectations at all.

Len is averaging 6.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game in 12 games. He is playing about 19 minutes per game on the floor.

The Suns are 7-5 this season.
