What happened to Fesenko?

Fes is not as big of a game changer as you are letting on, that is a fact. Now, if he'd ever learn how to use his body out there and actually understand why he is on the floor than yes I'd agree that he needs to play more.

If by fact you mean a completely oblivious comment that goes against all logic and evidence, then yes, I also agree.

It's an opinion. Having watched the games I have formed a different one.

Fes sometimes looks unsure of himself and lost out there but he never looks smaller than 7' 1" -- and that has a huge impact.
 
I like how Locke is spinning it on Twitter:

"Fesenko 15% defensive rebounding rate is the same as Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade -- Note also the same as LaMarcus Aldridge"

What a shill.

Locke is a moron. Remember his study of Jefferson and how he was going to be a great pick and roll player based on his tiny sample size in Minnesota...yeah

Fes effects rebounding by his size alone. He can box out two people at once and often taps to another Jazz player even if he cant get it himself.
 
The thing is Fes boxes out people as basketball fundamentals book says - with hands down. Most Jazz players do opposite and pick up rebounds otherwise falling to Fes' hands if they would box out their opponents properly as well. This is the very opposite Boozer is being hated on this board for.

That is pretty much what I'm saying so I agree with you BENTLEY. He needs to ALWAYS keep his head in the game and realize what he's supposed to be doing.

I
just try to not let it get into my head,” said Fesenko, prior to the Jazz’s 103-94 victory against the Blazers on Saturday night. “Just try and be a player and not be a coach.”

Fesenko has played just 5 minutes during Utah’s last four games, including a 1-minute outing during a Jazz loss Friday to San Antonio and two games he did not play due to coach’s decision. Utah has gone 2-2 during the stretch, but the team has been outrebounded by a combined 190-147.

Jazz acting coach Phil Johnson said Friday that the team’s struggles on the boards played the primary role in Utah’s defeat to the Spurs. Utah was then outrebounded 48-38 by the Blazers, including a 24-6 deficit on the offensive glass.

“Obviously, it sucks because it’s a big issue,” Fesenko said. “But coach knows better.”

Johnson acknowledged that it was tough not playing Fesenko versus the Spurs. But with fellow reserve center Francisco Elson playing strong defense, Johnson said he was forced to limit Fesenko’s minutes.

“We didn’t go to Fes [on Friday],” Johnson said. “But he’s there.”

But I thought Jerry was the evil coach that didn't like playing young players and Phil Johnson was the nice good coach that wanted to develop young players?

LOL...
