Check out the first few lines of Bill Rabinowitz's, post-draft Kosta Koufos article now appearing in the Columbus Dispatch...
By 9 p.m., Kosta Koufos' hopes of being an NBA lottery pick had ended.
A half-hour later, the former Ohio State freshman was bypassed for a player who averaged five points in a French league.
Koufos' wait ended a few minutes later when the Utah Jazz made him the 23rd pick of the draft.
If he was disappointed, he did a good job of hiding it.
Are you kidding me? The guy was projected 19 and ended up being selected 23. I'd say that's as close to on the money as you're going to get with a pre-draft projection.
Compare that to Kansas' Darrell Arthur, who probably had aspirations of being a top ten pick, only to plummet to the bottom of the first round. THAT GUY is disappointed.
What planet is Billy Rabs on? Kosta Koufos is now guaranteed about $2.5 million and finds himself on a good team (Utah). To second-guess his decision to go pro at this point is flat-out fucking retarded. I don't know about you but $2.5 mill is quite a few more sheckles then I had in college.
Good for you Kosta! You're going to need all that coin to get laid with a mug like that.
