Great. Kosta Koufos. A scrub from Ohio State. Greek nonetheless. I hope he and Memo are cool with each other.

That was a dumb pick unless they have plans to move Memo.

Well, he fit their biggest need.......a player who is not black so that most of the local community can assume he is family oriented, a la Stockton!

I didn't understand the pick, but what were they to do given the choices available to them?

It seems they have a viable back up point in Price, they have more than enough 2-3 players, they have a quality back-up 4, and I didn't see any defensive interior bigs left at 23.

The Jazz seem to be intent on creating an excellent D League team.

This is kind of how I feel. The draft sucked for the Jazz, but maybe that is just because the draft sucks this year.

They should've reached on a guy like Joey Dorsey. Fans are always talking about toughness and rebounding. Well, there you go.

I was hoping they would take Trent.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

I thought the whole point was that nobody was good enough to crack the line-up, so they took a guy who could play foreign ball for a couple years. No?
