The rest of the story on Koufos

Jody Genessy wrote Saturday about the rather-glowing things ESPN.com analyst David Thorpe had to say about Jazz rookie big man Kosta Koufos.
And now the rest of the story ‘
Here is what Jazz coach Jerry Sloan had to say a couple days ago in Los Angeles on the same subject:
‘He’s just a young kid. He’s 19 years old. And he’s got a tremendous work habit. He’s just got to learn how to understand what’s going on in the game. Typical rookie mistakes. Not knowing where he’s supposed to be. Especially when pressure hits on him, it’s very difficult for him. But we really like the way he’s worked, and how he tries to make himself better every day. Guys like him end up being good players if they don’t lose their confidence and ability to work hard.”
