    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">On the same day they signed 2007 signed first-round draft choice Morris Almond to his first NBA contract, the Utah Jazz on Friday also released a Rocky Mountain Revue roster full of surprises ? including the presence of former BYU center Rafael Araujo.
    Utah took Almond, a senior shooting guard from Rice and the nation's No. 3 collegiate scorer this past season, 25th overall in the June 28 NBA Draft.

    .....

    Utah's summer-league camp roster features not only a few unexpected names ? ex-NBA guard Eddie Gill, a former star at Weber State, also is among them, as is John Millsap, the older brother of Jazz backup power forward Paul Millsap ? but also some glaring omissions.
    Chief among those not listed: shooting guard C.J. Miles, a restricted free agent who spent the past two NBA seasons in Utah, and 2007 second-round draft choice Kyrylo Fesenko.
    Regarding Araujo ? a 2004 lottery pick who spent last season with Utah, but appeared in just 28 regular-season games ? Jazz basketball operations senior vice president Kevin O'Connor answered the question of why the big Brazilian, a three-year NBA pro, has decided to take part in the Revue.</div>
