    He was selected to the DLeague All Star squad. Jerry Sloan is going to love Amundson's hustle on the court. I still can't believe the Kings didn't keep him, he's the physical inside player that roster really lacks.

    Amundson approaches the game like Matt Harpring. He throws his body around, dives for loose balls, goes after rebounds, and won't hurt you on offense.

    Solid pickup for Utah.

    He's just a practice player right now, maybe Sloan likes him and keeps him but he's not going to play anytime soon, especially with Hoffa's excellent work ethic [​IMG]
