Most improved player next year?

[Darkwing Duck]

Fesenko = MIP. Give him 25 minutes per game and he will be thought of as a key to the Jazz rebound that would ensue. He would not have big enough numbers to win it, maybe 8 and 8, but he would be mentioned. Jazz just gotta realize that his lack of offense should not matter, just like with miami and dallas and their centers. Both teams in the finals, gotta protect the paint, something Al and Sap are incapabale of.

Dude would foul out playing 20 minutes a game.

Yeah, I know what your response is, that getting more minutes means he would do better in not fouling. But then he wouldn't be that "force" you claim he'd be with him worrying about fouls, now would he?

Really? I think I have seen him play several games without fouling out in over 20 minutes.

Its funny to read these boards and see how when people develop a bias against a certain player, then that player can do nothing right. Fes fouls a lot, comes with inexperience and the position of protecting the paint. Notice in the playoffs how the centers, almost all of whom are no more of an offensive force than Fes, get in some foul trouble? That's simply because they have to go and cover guys driving to the bucket who have gotten by their original defender. Fes is not so foul prone that he could not average 25 mpg.
