The Utah Jazz take Kosta Koufos as the 23rd selection in the NBA Draft.

The former GlenOak and Ohio State center becomes the fourth Stark County player selected in the first round.

I was hoping that Kosta would spend one more year in college. He needs a little more time to fill out that body, before banging with the BIG BOYS.

If he gets a LOT of playing time, it was a good move. If not, he woulda been better off at The Ohio State University.

Okur plays a pretty solid middle, and with 5 potential centers on the Utah roster, minutes will be at a premium. Good luck to Koufus ! :rockin:

Congratulations to the Big Man. I wish he would've stayed a Buckeye another year or so but its nice to see someone from this area make it to the NBA!
