Was Fes' Play Last Night An Aberration?

Not according to Fes.

“That’s what I’m used to doing,” said Fesenko, who was the Jazz’s lone backup center with Francisco Elson nursing a strained hamstring. “That’s what I’m working on. That’s how I play in the practice. So, that’s my regular game.”

I'm liking what I'm see out of Fes thus far.

Seems like the Jazz should have locked him up for 2-3 years. It could be a headache trying to keep him at the end of the year.

I disagree. They did it right.

I sure hope so. I hope he doesn't make it an easy decision.

Nah. Fes himself said he doesn't want to move, mostly out of laziness. Most Euros seem to stick to one city when they can. As long as we don't try to grossly lowball him (if deserving), I'm not too worried about it.

Fess will probably look better in Jerry Sloan's system than on other teams.

I'd like to see what Fess and Jefferson on the court together would look like. The Jazz circa late nineties always liked to go big.

Would Fes have shown up this in shape if he were locked up for 2-3 years? Seems like the Jazz gave him a wake-up call and (hopefully) he's responding.

100% aberration. Nothing has changed with this clown. He got lucky last night.

This.

Anyone that has some sort of athletic ability can have a good game every once in a while. Even if that means 2 games in a row.

It was an aberration, but scoring is not Fess's role. Fess is a giant defensive stopper. He causes havoc, sometimes for his own team. Portland's entire dribble, drive threat was nothing last night. Give Fess more minutes!! He probably wont score 18 points in any game this season, but if he controls the paint and plays his role, the Jazz will go far.

He's proven nothing when it counts. If he does, pay him.

 

[homeytennis]

A couple of years ago he played Yao Ming to a draw in an OT loss to the Rockets in Houston and I thought wow the guy is going to be great. I'm skeptical that he can keep it up.

Actually, he was a pretty key reason the Jazz won the Denver series. There's a reason Melo was repeating his name over and over again in a press conference.

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

for every decent outing I bet I could point several not so decent ones. He just need to be more consistent.

...you don't sign a clown like Fess for more than 1 year! Trust me, nobody is gonna be paying any of these knot-heads very much....after the next CBA and the year long strike ends! So your right, the Jazz did the right thing!

....bingo! Dead on right!

Given Fes's poor work ethic and the possibility of Tomic next year, 1 year was the correct move.

 

[Inn Dawn]

Sakes alive, that Tomic fellow reminds me of The Dunkin' Dutchman. Especially his shot. Can't wait for him to come.

 

[sirkickyass]

Am I the only one that feels as if Tomic is a mirage? I have doubts we'll ever see him in a Jazz uni.

We're not going to see him because he's as soft as a baby's behind. Let's see...a soft Euro who can shoot from 10-15 ft. but plays no defense. Wait, haven't we had one of those for the last several years? OK, Tomic has a few inches on him, but Okur has the better range.

I just don't get all the love for Tomic.
