After recording eight DNP-CD's (did not play - coaches decision) in twelve games earlier this season, and handling the situation professionally, Marcus Fizer has been one of the huge factor's in the Bulls sudden reversal of forms over the past month.

Entering Friday's game, Fizer was averaging 15.3 points on 53 percent shooting and 7.5 rebounds over his last 10 games.  He has regained the form from late last season which saw him compared to Detroit's Corliss Williamson, the reigning Sixth man of the year.

Fizer is currently fulfilling that role for the Bulls, and has thus far been a suprising spark.

"I think now we're seeing what we thought Marcus was when we got him," Cartwright said. "Sometimes it takes guys a while to find themselves and where they fit in and what their roles are. There's an acceptance.

"Marcus is a unique player in this league because of his size and ability. He's quicker than most power forwards and bigger than most small forwards. He's got an advantage either way. That's what makes him valuable."
