I love this guy! He never stops hustling. He makes a living off of rebounding and getting loose balls. I'm sure every team is jealous that they don't have him. Not bad for a 6'11" white guy who played point guard in high school! Foster has literally no offensive game to speak of, but he can hit the occasional layup or dunk. He might be the hardest-working player in the NBA. I'm surprised he doesn't play at least 35 minutes per game. On a team that seems content on every worthless possession, Jeff Foster is a rare joy. His 48 minute productivity is about 17 rebounds per game, easily in the top 3 in the NBA in the category.
Yeah, Foster is the type of player that every team needs. Just a blue collar guy who will play his heart out, hustle every second he's out there, go and get a ton of rebounds, play defense, etc...He is an ugly ass mofo, but he definately gets under teams' skin and he is actually a very valuable asset to the Pacers just by the way he works his ass off out there, and gets boards.....He basically has no offensive skills though....I'd be willing to bet my life that atleast half of his points are created off of offensive rebounds, or getting a board, and going to the line..Edit: LMAO at Foster playing PG in high school. Was his basketball coach a crack addict?

That's not why I was shocked about that. He has literally no offensive basketball skills, so it's weird that he played PG.

Jeff Foster is one of those role players that I love. I think Foster has always been a very underrated center. He is one of the best rebounders in the NBA, he's very tough, he's an all out hustler, and he's a hard worker. Sure, he doesn't have much offensive skill at all, but he definitely gets the job done. Any team would love a guy like Foster on the team.
