I wonder if Fesenko can eventually develop into a real inside presence. If anything, he's clumsy enough to become an unintentional enforcer.

I like his potential, and while I'm a fan of Jerry Sloan, it bugs me they didn't at least try and play him more, but because according to them....Jarron Collins understands the offense and knows what they're trying to do.......anyway...here's hoping Fesenko continues to develop.

Raw though they be, he's got the tools to develop into a good player.

When I see a punk like Kenyon Martin deliberately try and take out Ronnie Brewer a while back and the Jazz players act like it's okay...that pisses me off.

I want an enforcer on the team. A shot blocker...a guy that intimidates and let's people know if you come into the pain,,,you're gonna get hit.

To a degree, that was why I liked Rafa on last years team. Not an NBA player by any stretch of the imagination, but he wasn't afraid to foul if he needed to. I had hoped that they could find a way to keep him and dump Collins... but that was just wishful thinking.

According to Booze, on 1320 kfan interview, on that particular play it was Okur who had the defensive assignment to guard Dirk.

and presumably Boozer's assignment was to just watch.

Okur had to guard two different guys, and of course he had to take ball, and that left Dirk open.

FWIW, I wasn't trying to comment on the veracity of his statement or trying to imply the blame belonged elsewhere - I was just sharing what was said.
