    I'd be pretty surprised if Utah don't draft Cole Aldrich, should he still be on the board at nine. For starters they badly need a big. Also Aldrich is big and white, and Utah seem to like acquiring those type of players on recent draft days lol.

    2007: Fesenko
    2008: Koufos, Tomic, Dragicevic
    2009: Suton

    Aldrich wouldn't be bad but at the same time, I don't think he'll be there. I really wouldn't mind a guy like Babbit, who's actually bigger than Millsap and pretty athletic. Babbit would be the ideal stretch 4 or maybe hard nose chucker 3 off the bench that we haven't had since Harpring went downhill. Babbit's shooting would be huge and I think he could ideally make Okur expendable next year w/ his expiring becoming an asset.

    Apparently Utah had a private workout with Ryan Richards besides the Minnesota workout.

    I know Udoh is going to be in Utah for sure Thursday, but here's a rumor of who else will be there from a draft blog that is usually right.

    The media interview with Whiteside was somewhat epic. Guy is dumb as rocks and I've seen it in the Sacramento Kings interview and now the Utah interview. Apparently Whiteside also had a horrible workout and the altitude really killed him to the point it was "embarrassing". You could tell he was upset in his interview, which does show he does care a bit.

    Walt Perrin (forget exactly what he does but he's important) said that Utah has 2 more workouts scheduled as of right now. You have to believe they are interested in getting Ed Davis and Paul George in for workouts.
