Seems like a good kid. Says the same things 90% of the draftees say, but seems pretty sincere about it. Good poise for a 19 year-old. I'm looking forward to having him.

Yeah, I think the best news is that he's isn't some idiot who fell through the draft because he's going to cause headaches for everyone.

Right now that is the last thing the Jazz need while developing this young crew into contenders.

If he can come in, learn the system, give the Jazz a 10 good minutes every few games or so I would be pleasantly surprised with getting him at #23.

If he could have anywhere near the impact that Millsap had his Rookie season the Jazz would have to be very happy.

I like the interview. Hes doesen't have his head up his ass hes happy to be there and I thought he just came over from greece to play in college but i guess hes been here for awhile so there wont be an adjustment period or language barrier.

They gave him a number already, yet Morris had to wait. What's up with that?

Here is a really good film study on Kouf.

I thought that he was pretty impressive. The fact that he gave up multiple opportunities for much bigger sums of money so that he could come play in the NBA is awesome. He went to Ohio State to make no money so that he could prepare to play in the NBA. Right on.

Well, Almond took #22, and isn't it obvious at the time the Jazz were still debating whether or not they were going to retire Curtis Borchardt's number.

I'm glad we got a good C. I think we didn't really need a center in 2nd round, but I'll forgive that. All this competition at the C is great though, like the competition the SG position, as these guys continuously have to fight and earn their minutes. I heard that Fes would have been around a top 5 pick if would have been in the 2008 draft, and also if Koufos would have come out next year, that he would have been one of the very top picks..
