Winger, his hands are fine for a big man. you can find real reasons to criticize him on, you don't need to make them up. The fact is that his teamates could not make a good pass to him. He should have walked that small guy under the hoop and gotten a high pass for a dunk. And the one pass he did get, he tried to score, got fouled, made the FT so it was an effective move. I will admit it was more than a bit awkward attempt to score, but in the end it was effective.

Nonsense. I've never seen a pro level player of any size have such a hard time catching or holding onto the ball.

You need to watch more basketball. I heard one of the TNT color guys, one of the old nba hc like maybe hubie, say he has good hands for a big man.

It is amazing on boards like this to see fans conjur up all sorts of bs about a player they do not like. There may be good reasons to not like Fes and think he is not worthwhile, but bad hands is not one of them. Find some real reasons.
 
I'm still seeing the same arguments here getting repeated in different words. I contend we haven't really seen what Fes could do because we haven't given him the court time to get any better. I get the other side of the argument which is nothing he ever did justified his getting that time. But this is not an Araujo argument to my mind. I believed Araujo would never make it. He just wasn't skilled. I believe Fes can make it, but he never got the time due to disproportionate weight placed on immaturity issues.

That is a bit of overstatement, but I agree with you that Fes has terrible hands. He's always punching rebounds rather than grabbing them. I think we can point these things out without bruising someone's Fes protecting ego.

Yes, I guess I just got caught up in the rampant hyperbole of a sports forum. Fes does not have the worst hands of any NBA big in history. That said, he's got pretty ****ing bad hands for someone his size.

Well, if a sports commentator said it, it must be true. There may be nobody less informed about the Jazz than national sports commentators.

Clearly that is true. And he "punched" 8 of them against the Lakers, while blocking out Bynum. Punch on dude! LOL

Fes's hands are fine. That is one of the least of his problems.

Yes, he got some rebounds against the Lakers. And he's managed to get a rebound nearly every 4 minutes of play since he's been in the league.
