Rocky Mountain Revue: Koufos has 'long way to go,' Corbin says

Let's hope these two bigs can figure it out soon enough to keep them around.
Who's Boozer's backup? We don't really have one. Can you imagine how hard it would be to score inside on the Jazz if their front three were all 6'10" or taller? And all able to block shots? Could happen if these two young players pan out.
What is this thing we have with foreign players? If these kids were from the U.S. you would see them playing at your local junior college but since they are from some exotic place they suddenly have mystical basketball powers and become NBA players.
The reason we lost so bad last night was because the team match ups were very different. It looks like SA is more focused on point guard/shooting guards than bigs. Can't blame em, they dont need to replace duncan or oberto. Thats why our bigs had such a rough night was because they were being matched up with much smaller/faster forwards, hence the foul trouble.
Fes was terrible last night. I agree with purple, it was good they came out playing so poorly so that they can show how they rebound from a game like that. I think koufos will do better tonight, his main problem was foul trouble. Other than that, he didn't have that bad of a game. Fes on the other hand, it's a toss up. I guess he'll do better at least a little bit because he can only go up from last night's performance. He was terrible last night, looked like he'd never played basketball before.
i remember in the mailman's retirement conference, he talked about his work ethic, how he learned it from his mom, he said his work ethic was what made his career one of the best ever.
it's nice to hear kk talking about work, it's the one thing a player, or anyone has the most control over, there's little excuse for not giving maximum effort and perfecting the little things, you can't blame someone who has given everything they have.
it's a simple lesson, but it's not an easy one.
i like fez's game, i'd love to see him dedicate to a work ethic.
i don't care if it's the revue, i want the jazz to smash the spurs, embarass them, crush them, send them home with their tails tucked between their legs, take their pride and eat it, have their preseason hearts for lunch, erase every record of them as a team, make them wish that utah was a place in their imagination and not some hellish reality where they come to get their basketball skills turned inside out and handed to them broken down, flat, and on paper plates.
When I mentioned foreign players I was referring to Korlev.
For the first game having never played together before I guess the Jazz were ok. I am disappointed that Almonds game was so off. Even he and Kruger were not on the same page.
I would agree lets see what they do tonight. Maybe the Jazz should send a group to the Las Vegas Program and be more ready for their own review when it takes place.
WOW
Why can't sloan build other great players.
Or does that only work with top 5 draft picks who expected to be great anyways.
So me some great coaching, sloan, and develop these youngsters!
One of the KFNZ announcers was not impressed with Kouf's game but he seemed surprised when he read the stats. Kouf's shooting percentage will come along as he learns the plays, the PF position and adjusts to the game and players. Give him 1/2 a year or at least a couple of weeks.
Almond showed promise in more dimensions than in just shooting. Fess went 9, 9 with a bunch of blocks. With some work Fess could be as good as Mutumbo as a shot blocker. I think Fess will get his act together. He has a shot at being very good if he wants it bad enough.
The Jazz seem to be taking a very serious look at Fess at Center with Kouf at PF. If Kouf can play second team PF it will make a big difference in the long run.
His stupid rules, his stupid dog house,
his stupid benching of Ronnie Brewer and
Deron Williams in their rookie campaigns.
His zero rings with two hall of fame
players.
Enough old timer, pack it up.

Getting your shorts handed to you is a great way to see what you're made of. Both of them have the potential to really help the Jazz out over time. How they both play this next game might indicate how long or short that time might be.
