The Jazz obtained the rights to Fesenko in an exchange of second-round picks with Philadelphia on the night of the NBA draft. Fesenko, who's 7-feet, 270 pounds, played summer league games for the Jazz and averaged 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.67 blocks. He will turn 21 on Dec. 24.</div> Source: Yahoo Sports

Not much info about him, I figure that since Utah bought out his contract he must have some promise, any chance he can replace Collins as a backup 10-15 minute player and provide some muscle when Okur is ineffective? SportsNation David Thorpe: Genuine. He can help this year. One scout told me that he'd have been a top 10 pick had he played American college ball this past year.</div> Found this mention of Fesenko in Thorpe's chat session. Apparently, Utah robbed the 76ers by acquiring Fesenko.
Fesenko is an intriguing prospect, with a lot of potential. You can't teach height, and Fesenko has the physical gifts to make it big in the league. There are many teams who want an athletic shot blocking seven footer, even if he's a bench player. If he develops, the Jazz will have just that. If he doesn't, given that he was a second round pick it's not a great loss.
Very good player i have seen videos of this guy before.He plays pretty good and is decent and it was very cheap on them just losing a second round pick.
