I love his humor. What a great response to all the "annoying short men" who ask stupid questions.

Denny's is healthy? Jimmy thinks it sounds like Fes has already got his first sponsorship lined up.

Denny's healthy? Ehhh... minus the grease they slather on each offering! It does taste good though.

I like this guy. He has a good attitude and has a lot of energy. I think he'll develop just fine and next season he could be looking at a roster spot on the Jazz.

Fess is probably an NBA role player, but could have a solid impact on a team. I imagine Adam Keefe with killer shot blocking abilities. He has his work cut out for him, but his attitude will make up a lot of ground.

Actually, Denny's IS healthy. They've done studies that have shown it's true, but I won't get into all that now.

Go Fess!

The guy has got to put on some weight, what better way than Denny's?|

If he can't beat Memo on the court (as he said), he may ask him to give him some time to play. Memo is a gentleman.

When the Jazz got Fesenko, O'Connor and Miller warned fans not to expect to see him play. They obviously were afraid the fans would fall in love with the kid after watching him on the court at the summer league. And Fesenko was great. He has amazing coordination for somebody of his size. He already sees the court well, especially for a big guy. He has great shot-blocking abilities. He has a decent shot. But he doesn't know how to defend or body up a guy or set a hard pick or stop a pick-and-roll or defend the baseline, etc. He'll pick that up with D League play and good coaching. I think he'll someday be a major player in the NBA, and he'll be a fan favorite for years to come. I hope he stays with the Jazz and attains his potential because this kid is loads of fun. Wow, I'm excited about the Jazz this year and for years to come. Go, Jazz!
