I remember in his draft workout they had told him to "put the ball on the floor" and come down the court, so he dropped the ball and walked down the court. He played this off like it was a language barrier but had done it intentionally. There was someone, I'm pretty sure VINYLONE, who (unbeknownst to him that it was intentional), thought this was great, showing that he's able to be perfectly molded for us telling him anything and he'd do it.As a jazz fan this is one of my biggest pains, not that we drafted him over Gasol, though that does suck, but Fes had the physical skills and talent to be very good, but he just didn't care about being great or even good. He had a worse work ethic then even Ostertag, even ostertag was able to carve out a decent career. Was a presence inside on defense. Sadly Fes couldn't even do that. Simply put, Fes made Ostertag look like Malone as far as commitment to being a good basketball player.
Thanks for making me relive that waste of space of a basketball player.
Battistone was always strapped for cash. That's why Larry was able to buy the team for what now passes as a 1-year salary on a max contract.
Fact: Sam Battistone moved the team to Utah because he joined the LDS Church.
