What Will They Do? (#11 Jeff Foster) 

Post#1 » by count55 » Thu Aug 14, 2008 1:55 pm

This is going to be the eleventh in our series of projections and discussions about all of our players this year. Essentially, we'll go through all 15 Pacers (I'm excluding Droopy) and talk about our expectations. Each poster will cut and paste form below and fill it out, adding their reasoning at the bottom. The reasoning is the most important, as it will help the conversation.

The first five guys will go up today, and they will be the fringe players. Then will come the rotational players, then we'll get to our key players. If you're looking to do a little research on the guys, I'd suggest BBR as the best statistical site.

So, here we start with:

Jeff Foster

Games Played:
Games Lost To Injury:
DNP-CD's:
Minutes per Game:
Points per Game:
Rebounds per Game:
Assists per Game:
FG%:
3FG%:
FT%:
Other Key Stats (can be Steals, Blocks, TO's, A/TO ratio, etc.)

Reasoning/Synopsis: Describe why you think this player will provide these numbers. What will his role be? What's his best-case? What's his worst-case?

Lets get started.
I have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly, neither do you.

Games Played: 68
Games Lost To Injury: 14

Minutes per Game: 24

Other Key Stats: Stls 0.7

Right now, I'm assuming that Jeff gets his customary 24 minutes or so a game, splitting time between the 4 and 5 positions. As always, he'll bring defense, rebounding, and hustle, and can play along side any of the other big guys we have. With his reckless style and increasing years, I have trouble seeing him being able to log more than the 24 minutes without wearing down. Even at that, I think that it would be an accomplishment for him to hit 70+ games.

Foster's role will still be the same. He'll be there when we need some toughness. In this team, Baston and Foster are the only two bug guys who can play hustling defense.
