Player Notes
July 10, 2008
According to PA Sports Ticker, the Utah Jazz have signed Kosta Koufos, their first-round pick from this year's draft. Koufos will make $941,000 in his first year of service for the Jazz.

Our View:Selected 23rd overall out of Ohio State, the 7-foot Koufos averaged 14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in college.

The Utah Jazz have added a much-needed big man, drafting Ohio State center Kosta Koufos with the 23rd pick in tonight's NBA Draft.

Our View:The Jazz may have found a player currently labeled as a project that could quickly be molded into an impact contributor. The Jazz have long relied on Carlos Boozer to do the dirty work down low. Adding Koufos and coaching him into the role could ease that pain. Koufos has great defensive skills and a surprising touch on offense, especially from the perimeter. He could fill in as depth at power forward, but for the Jazz, adding an option to join Mehmet Okur at center is a gift they should be happy to add.
