1. (23) Kosta Koufos, C
The Jazz were happy to see 19-year old center Kosta Koufos available in the first round when their pick came up. He is 7’0″, 265 pounds but his game is a lot like Mehmet Okur’s as he’s a good outside shooter. Koufos played in 37 games (35 starts) at Ohio State and he averaged 14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.8 blocked shots per game. Koufos is a very solid shooter as evidenced by his 50.8% shooting from the floor at Ohio State. Look for Koufos to backup Mehmet Okur as a rookie but he could develop into a starter down the road.
