Fesenko 10-11 Mix

As a Jazz fan, I don't care about "Fes' sake" as much as the team's sake.

If Kanter has anywhere near the potential of a typical #3 draft pick, then Fes is definitely expendable now. Unfortunately, he's the latest exhibit of a string of crucial backups (not just at the 5) that the Jazz were unsuccessful at developing (including the carefully selected crucial court time). Here's hoping that the Jazz staff does better with the new young bigs and wings.

If I understand what you are saying here then your thinking is in line with mine. I look at the Fez development and worry that the same type of mentality might be taken with our young guys.

I will be the first one to admit that the situation should be different and will be different becuase we are talking about hard-working lottery picks and not some goofball with size. My worry, as has been stated all along, is that these guys need a minimum of 20 minutes a game. With Big Al, Milsap and a semi-healthy Okur they might not get that. I have been getting a lot of grief for pointing out Jeffersons shortcoming. They are a very real concern to me. I would like to see Jefferson start the season at 30 minutes a game and then have his playing time dropped to about 20 to 25 a game so that they young guys can get teh development that they need. They need that kind of time if we want them to develop into anything more than an overpaid Fez.

Big. Goofy. Dangerous. That move he put on Nene was pretty legit. He's big enough that opposing players often don't even try to guard him.
