Big Ten
standout auditions
6/18
Kris Humphries, a 6-foot-9 forward at the University of Minnesota, was named to
the all-Big Ten first team and earned the league's freshman of the year honors,
then found it "an easy decision" to put his name in as an early entry for next
week's NBA Draft.
"I thought about it because you get comfortable somewhere, get to know the great
people involved," Humphries said about his year with the Golden Gophers, his
hometown team.

Revue tickets on sale, but prices increased
6/18
The Rocky Mountain Revue is growing up, and the cost to watch it is going up.
Tickets for the 2004 version of the NBA summer league are priced at $8 per
person, quite a jump from $5 in recent Revues past, or $36 for a family of six.
For the first time in Revue history, the Jazz announced Thursday, advance
tickets are being sold — at the Delta Center box office, online at
ticketmaster.com, by phone at (801) 325-7328 and at participating TicketMaster
outlets. |

Humphries
working his way up draft board
6/18
Along with three other draft prospects, Humphries visited Utah on Thursday and
worked out for Jazz vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor,
director of player personnel Walt Perrin and assistant coaches Phil Johnson and
Gordon Chiesa.
By all accounts, the session was a success.
"It went really well," said Humphries. "It's great to be here . . . [and] get a
feel for the organization. . . . This is the greatest game in the world and I'm
excited to be part of it." |

Jazz work
out big men, including 7-5 Russian
6/17
If his name hasn't been called on June 24 before the Utah
Jazz get their first of three picks in the NBA Draft, 7-foot-5 Pavel Podkolzine
sees himself in the team's new navy and light blue color scheme.
"If somebody don't get me before," said the 19-year-old Russian, he expects the
Jazz "will pick me up."
Podkolzine, who had to withdraw from the 2003 draft when pituitary-gland trouble
arose after he'd worked out for the Jazz, is seen by a number of Internet mock
drafts as going anywhere from about seventh to the high 20s, meaning he could be
there for any of Utah's three picks (14, 16 and 21). |

Jazz look at
Podkolzine
6/17
In an NBA draft class loaded with young centers and power forwards, the "Biggest
One of Them All" worked out for the Jazz on Wednesday.
Pavel Podkolzine is a 19-year-old Russian who stands 7-foot-5, weighs 300 pounds
and wears a size-21 sneaker.
Unfortunately, Podkolzine also has been diagnosed with acromegaly, a disorder
that occurs when the pituitary gland produces excessive amounts of growth
hormones. The malady was discovered just days before the 2003 draft, when he had
been expected to be a lottery pick.

Brown, Sloan — 2 coaches who are oh-so-similar
6/16
He has coached forever, and has the respect of countless peers. You can call him
old-school, but he'll never apologize for steadfastly feeling basketball is a
team game. For the longest time, his jam-packed resume's only glaring omission
has been an NBA championship.
No, we're not talking about the Jazz's Jerry Sloan, who has coached his club 16
seasons, a same-team tenure longer than any man in the league can claim — and
still has no rings. |
