Jazz send Koufos down, bring Fes back up. 

Post#1 » by carrottop12 » Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:38 pm

Obviously just trying to get people some playing time down in the D-League, wonder if something else happened that we don't know about.

Wonder if they saw something they didn't like when defending Shaq yesterday and want Fes as an option on Saturday.

U hit nail on the head!!! Let Kosta get time while Fess gives us Shaq protection. Anyone know i Fess didnt anything good down in developmental league. I think he has talent but lacks desire.
Top 4 seed in the West!!! Guaranteed!!!

Do you speak English?

I think Fes may be facing his last shot with the organization, and Kosta needs to get some more time. That's the only reason I can come up with.

Both Fes and Kosta are the 13th man on the active roster. This is to get him time. Having a local farm team is pretty nice. The guys get to sleep in his own bed.

Looks like we are going to be seeing if Fes is going to be an option for next year. He had some nice games with Boozer out, so I assume (and hope) he'll be back, but I think that this stretch could determine his future with the team.

I think on the road we should try mixing it up a little with Price and big Fez. Not for big minutes or anything, but atleast toss them on the floor. I would love to see Fez on Shaq tonight!

haha how can any of you think that Fes is getting minutes? If we needed another big or shaq insurance we would play Collins. Fes is not getting an active roster spot over anyone unless they're injured. We have enough wings, thats why its not Almond.

Kosta hasnt played in over a month, he needs to get some PT.

Fes is a lost cause, when a players worst problem is maturity...thats not a good thing.

Not a bad d-league debut for Kosta:

21 pts (10-14 FG 1-3 FT)
8 rebs (5 offensive)
1 ast
3 blks

Fes better be activated if we play the rockets again in the playoffs. He's our biggest body and if he can bother yao why couldn't he bother then other bigs in the league?

I hope this summer Kosta will come and play with Greek NT. A tough defensive team, who runs lots of pick n rolls. Also probably he will be the 2nd option on the bigs. I think that this experience will help his development much more than a summer league

Kosta should dominate the D-league. He's got to be the biggest most fluent athlete on the team. And certainly one of the best players in the league.
