Certainly time flies, but the former Stanford center has been scarcely visible in the Association with his string of injuries. This year was a relative breakthrough for the seven-footer's health, though Borchardt has a lot of catching up to do. It All Starts with Health Not many players consider 'games played' to be their most important statistic, but in the case of Curtis Borchardt , his appearance in 67 games this year is the big story. To recap for those who may have had difficulty keeping up with his medical file, Borchardt had his freshman and sophomore seasons cut short at Stanford due to a stress fracture in his right foot. After staying healthy during his junior season (2001-02), Borchardt left Stanford early and became a first-round pick in June '02, ending up with the Utah Jazz . The seven-footer missed his entire rookie season due to yet another stress fracture in the same right foot that plagued him at Stanford. </div> <div align="center">Source</div>
Bochardt had a awesome season this year after you read this article. He barely could play 79 games over a 5 year spand. Maybe he can be better than Big Z.
The Jazz picked up the option on Borchardt's fourth season, so they still think Borchardt can offer something. Borchardt played 67 games this season despite an injury history, but there is room for improvement. But as the article says, it all starts with health.
