good read on how Koufos' attitude and play on the court has changed with his increased confidence.

"I just want to play hard every possession. Run the floor hard, set good screens, rebound and block shots."

2K has a great opportunity to earn minutes and have a decent role on this team. If he stays out of foul trouble he can make a positive contribution. I hope he does well, he has obviously been working hard.

Well he is not the Birdman style type of player. During the summer playing for the National team he did set on each play 2 to 4 solid screens opening things up. He has good b-ball IQ of the ball.

I do not see how is going to get any minutes in Denver. I hope he makes it though.

If he could only develop a little more and maybe start to include a 10-12 ft consistent jumper...

He plays hard, and I hope he continues to get better.

you said the key word...

consistent...

He needs minutes to be consistent. He was a really good shooter. If you see his college games he used to hit the 3 point too many times. Yeap the 3 point. Jery Sloan wanted to make him Mark Eaton - Graig Ostertag his first years in Utah and that confused him.
