I agree, I think Portland would be a better choice for him.
As Fran is talking about Batum being like Rudy Gay I was just thinking to myself that the Rockets finally made up for trading away Gay

http://sportstwo.com/NBA/Story/NBA/2515793 Jazz add offensive 7-footer Koufos at No. 23 Thursday, June 26, 2008 10:03 PM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Mehmet Okur meet Kosta Koufos.Joining fellow sharp-shooting 7-footer Okur, Koufos was taken by the Utah Jazz with the 23rd pick in Thursday's NBA draft at Madison Square Garden. Koufos averaged 14.4 points and 6.7 rebounds in his first season with Ohio State, helping the Buckeyes win the National Invitation Tournament. The lanky Koufos has the ability to shoot from the outside and can put the ball on the floor but, like most foreign-born players, does not like to bang with stronger players down low. He will be a solid addition to the Jazz, who feature penetrating point guard Deron Williams, who gets Okur and Kyle Korver easy looks from the arc. Koufos, however, isn't exactly like Okur. Koufos, who shot 51 percent from the field, including 35 percent from the arc, can be a post-up player. He had seven double-doubles during the season, which included 22 points and a career-high 14 rebounds against VMI on November 25.
